Arizona Beats Green Bay in a Wild Card offensive fight
This game between the Cardinals and the Packers will go down as one of the wildest wild-card games in NFL history. It started off with Cardinals up 17-0. Everybody, then, was sure the Cardinals would win easily, right? Wrong! The Packers erased a 21 point deficit and tied the game at 38 pts. The Cardinals answered back with another TD to make it 45-38. Then the Packers answered back with their offensive attack and tied the game at 45. With about 1:40 left in the game, the Cardinals had one last chance to drive down the field and in during regulation. They got within field goal range, however their kicker missed. We're headed to overtime. I was about to have a heart attack at that point. Overtime coin-toss was done. The Packers won it. So, with the Cardinals defense struggling for the majority of the game, chances for their team winning were slim. However, with help from a penalty, the ball was backed up to the ten yard line of the Packers. Then on 3rd down and 5, the Packers' QB fumbled the ball, and Karlos Dansby of the Cardinals recovered, ran it in for the game winning TD, and the game was officially over. Most points scored in a playoff game, over 1000 yards combined, 13 td's, and the most exciting game of this wild card weekend, are ways to describe that thriller. Here's a highlight video:
