The Arizona heat hasn't gotten you. It's no hallucination: the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia Eagles and are on their way to their first Super Bowl.
This is also a return to the Super Bowl for Arizona QB Kurt Warner, who led the St. Louis Rams to the 2000 Super Bowl Championship. He also played in the 2002 Super Bowl, when the Rams lost to the NE Patriots.
It wasn't easy. Arizona blew a 24-6 halftime lead, as the Eagles scored 19 unanswered points to lead 25 - 24 with 10:45 remaining in the game.
But Warner, who had already thrown 3 TD passes to Larry Fitzgerald, drove the Cardinals to a TD with 2:53 left in the game. He threw his TD pass to Tim Hightower.
Kurt Warner finished 279 yards, four TDs, and was 21 out of 28. Fitzgerald, for his part, caught 9 passes for 152 years and set a record for most yards in a postseason, with 419 yards receiving, surpassing the great Jerry Rice. And Fitzgerald has one more game, the Super Bowl.
The Cardinals will meet the winners of the later Ravens / Steelers game in Tampa, in 2 weeks.
