NFC – Green Bay Packers vs Arizona Cardinals Preview

The Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers opted to take different approaches to last week’s meaningless regular-season finale. This week will prove which approach worked best.

The teams will return to University of Phoenix Stadium for the second straight Sunday as Aaron Rodgers makes his postseason debut with the Packers against Kurt Warner and the defending NFC champions.

Arizona (10-6) learned before kickoff last week that its chances for a first-round bye were gone, and coach Ken Whisenhunt chose a cautious approach against Green Bay (11-5). Warner played two series before being replaced by Matt Leinart in a 33-7 loss.

In contrast, Packers coach Mike McCarthy stuck with Rodgers and most of his starters through three quarters as his team built a 33-point lead. Green Bay completed the second half of the year with an NFC-best 7-1 mark.

Both teams sustained injuries to key players. For Arizona, wide receiver Anquan Boldin has a sprained left ankle, defensive end Calais Campbell a broken left thumb and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie a bruised left kneecap.

Campbell and Rodgers-Cromartie both practiced this week, but Boldin has not and he will be a game-time decision.

For Green Bay, Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson left the game before halftime with a shoulder strain. Woodson had picked off Leinart to tie for the NFL lead with his ninth interception and ran it back 45 yards for a score. He expects to be OK for the rematch.

The last time the two teams met was just last Sunday Week 17 wherein the Packers steamrolled the Cardinals in Arizona, 33-7, winning essentially every facet of the game and scoring the first 33 points. With three takeaways against Arizona, the Packers finished with the best ratio in the NFL (plus-24). (Source: NFL.COM)

Game Recap

Karlos Dansby’s 17-yard fumble return for a touchdown in overtime gave the Arizona Cardinals a 51-45 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the highest-scoring playoff game in NFL history.

Aaron Rodgers, who started the game with an interception but was marvelous after that, was stripped by Michael Adams. The ball careened off Rodgers’ foot and into the hands of Dansby, who ran untouched for the score.

Rodgers flung his helmet to the sideline in disgust as the reigning NFC champion Cardinals rushed the field to celebrate.

It brought an abrupt end to a sensational passing duel to rival any the NFL has seen between the playoff newcomer Rodgers and the old master Kurt Warner. (Source)
