Fitzgerald carries Cardinals to wild win over Packers

After the Packers picked “tails”, the first coin toss was called off because the coin never flipped in the air. It landed in the ground. After the coin toss, it was indeed tails and Green Bay started shouting that they wanted the ball.

“Yeah, it’s a really high, high there where you tie it up last play of the game and then have the debacle with the coin toss and then you don’t get to touch the ball in the overtime”, Rodgers said. This game felt like Deja Vu watching Larry Fitzgerald( who deserves a Super Bowl Ring as much as anyone in National Football League history by the way ) take a catch near the Cardinals 40 and run the length of the field, breaking numerous tackles and eventually being tripped within the Packer’s five yard line. The coin toss going into overtime was a “debacle, ” Rodgers said. “We talked in the locker room at halftime and said, ‘We’re right where we need to be.’ We came out on top, kept believing, and found a way in the end”. “Start at the 25-yard line or whatever it is and go at it. I’m sure it will be talked about, but it sucks we didn’t have an opportunity”.

The NFL overtime rules allow the team that gets possession first to win if they score a touchdown on that initial drive, and the Cardinals wasted no time. “When you are on the losing side, you want to see it changed”.

Packers receiver Randall Cobb has been released from the hospital after suffering a chest injury. Mike McCarthy said it was a broken coverage. It’s nearly as if when the defense gets into overtime, they forget how to play. In regulation, the losses were more on him. “There were freakish plays made by both teams”. Cardinals rookie running back David Johnson didn’t mind offering up his opinion, to be determined.

“No, I can’t explain the emotions right now”, linebacker Julius Peppers said. Depending on Seahawks-Panthers, the NFC Championship will either be in Carolina or Arizona.

And it all happened in less than 15 minutes of real time on Saturday night. What players will return and which players won’t be back. “Unfortunately they’re not [intact] as we walk out”.

The Patriots are to make their fifth consecutive trip to the American Conference finals, playing either Denver or Pittsburgh for a berth in Super Bowl 50.

The Arizona Cardinals’ 26-20 win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC divisional playoff game is getting “best game ever” recognition and for good reason. “It feels good”, he said. “I think it was No. 83 (Janis)”. “But there’s no way we’re done or satisfied. We’re excited, but we’re excited about what’s ahead of us”.

After Green Bay kicked off in OT, Arizona got the ball on its 20 and almost won the game on its first play when Palmer, after avoiding a sack, hit a wide open Fitzgerald at the 35.

Floyd only had 3 catches for 26 yards and 2 touchdowns. And then on Sunday, of course, Rodgers threw a Hail Mary on the final play of regulation, lost not one, but two coin tosses and saw his playoff hopes dashed after three plays. “My eyes lit up in the huddle”.
