GLENDALE, Ariz. Yes, the Cardinals, founding members of the NFL, but
historically among the most dysfunctional of franchises, finally
have joined the big boys. Capitalizing on Larry Fitzgerald's three
first-half touchdown receptions, then coolly marching downfield to
Kurt Warner's 8-yard scoring pass to rookie Tim Hightower with 2:53
left, they beat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-25 Sunday for the NFC
championship.
Donovan McNabb was superb in leading Philadelphia's second-half
rally, but he misfired from midfield four times in the final
moments.
Arizona (12-7) will face the AFC champion in two weeks in Tampa
for the NFL title. Baltimore played at Pittsburgh later in the day
for the AFC crown.
