NFL Football News :: Arizona Cardinals beat Philadelphia 32-25 to win NFC Championship

Posted on 2009-01-19 by Gooner

The Arizona Cardinals have completed one of the more unlikely playoff runs in NFL history, riding four touchdown passes from Kurt Warner to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 32-25, in Sunday night's NFC championship game.

Arizona claimed their first league title since beating these same Eagles in 1947, ending the second-longest drought in North American sports history in advancing to their first Super Bowl.

The Cardinals are the only No. 4 seed in NFL history to host a championship game, and would not be denied.

Warner's fourth scoring pass of the day, an 8-yard toss to rookie running back Tim Hightower, provided the winning touchdown for Arizona, who held an 18-point 24-6 half-time lead before rallying to hold off a near-miraculous comeback by the Eagles.

Larry Fitzgerald had another monster game, hauling in nine receptions for 152 yards and three-first-half touchdowns as the Cardinals avenged a 48-20 beating at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving night.
