Nfl - Cardinal's Shock Eagles
As I kept track of Sundays football results, I waited with baited breath as one of the founding teams of the NFL, that had long been written off as one of the most dysfunctional side ever, found its lost niche and won the match. Winning last night meant that the Cardinals were finally headed towards their first championship game in years in Tampa.
The Arizona Cardinals lost no time in capitalizing on 3 touchdown receptions by Larry Fitzgerald in the first half. They further showed great perseverance when Kurt Warner made a pass to Tim Hightower at 8-yards who made no mistakes scoring off it with just 2:53 left. This proved to be the match winning point and they defeated Philadelphia Eagles by 32-25 to reach the NFC championship.
Warner was beyond himself with joy and asked rhetorically, "The Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl. How about it"
The Cardinals who have had a record of 12-7 so far will be playing against current AFC champions Pittsburgh Steelers. The match will take place in 2 weeks time in Tampa which will decide who takes this year's NFL title.
I almost shouted with agony as I saw Donovan McNabb, who played a huge role in containing Philadelphia's lead in the second half of the game form 18 points to only 25-24, misfire from the midfield not once or twice but 4 times in the final moments of the game.
At the beginning of the game I was a little apprehensive about how the Cardinals were going to handle the atmosphere in their hometown. But I was in for a surprise. They played like professionals and except for a mess-up in the second half when they blew the 24-6 lead; they remained unperturbed by their surroundings.
Warner saw to it that no one was left in any doubt regarding the new spirit that his team had recently been imbibed with and, with an on-the-mark 72 yards drive, he turned the tables around on the Eagles with a TD pass which happened to be his 4th of the day.
He also made up for his previous mistakes by making an 8-yard pass to Hightower and getting a 2-point conversion by hitting Ben Patrick. This achievement tingles Arizona fans with enthusiasm and unfamiliar sensation. It was not an easy game, after all eagles are considered a very good team but the outstanding performance of cardinals at the end plays quite effective role to emerge victory. Watching this sensational game at studio, I could not make myself stop of raising noise in the favor of Cardinals as they did a wonderful job of making high score in the early. In this way they bring back their fans early in the game. But the encouragement and creditability of crowd in the favor of Cardinals keep the adrenaline flowing for them. Prop up to all persons who created a sensation atmosphere in the game.
