Game one of the NFC Divisional Championship game featuring The (10/6) NFC North Divisional Champions Arizonal Cardinals vs The (13/3) NFC South Champions New Orleans Saints. U may recall New Orleans being 1 of 2 teams that nearly had a perfect season during the regular season--and of course we can't forget the never say die game Arizona had with Green bay this pass Sunday! So will the Saints go marching in, or will the birds make them fly out??? The game starts at approximately 4:30 PM EST today, and will be played in New Orleans.
New Orleans Saints are controlling the game thus far--scoring a touchdown on all 3 of their possesions of the first quarter! It is 21/zip Saints after 1 quarter!
Kurt Warner will preform his magic and the Card's will move on. BTW, Kurt Warner went to college in my hometown, Cedar Falls, Iowa, University of Northern Iowa.
At the end of the 1st half--it is 35/14 Saints--with The saints getting the ball at the top of the half. Kurt warner got injured when he was intercepted and then hit as he attempted to make a tackle. It is questionable as to whether or not he will come back for the 2nd half.

First CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, then FS Antrel Rolle, and now QB Kurt Warner. It’s been a tough day on the injury front for the Cardinals.
Warner just left the field for the locker room at the Superdome and has been announced as questionable to return against the Saints due to a chest injury. Backup QB Matt Leinart is preparing to enter a game the Cardinals now trail 35-14.
The Cardinals’ quarterback took a viscious hit from Saints DE Bobby McCray following an interception midway through the second quarter. Warner was in the open field when McCray hit him from the side, a hit that looked to be legal. The hit, however, de-cleated Warner and left him shaken on the turf. He was able to leave the field and get to the bench on his own power, where he consulted with the medical staff. He later left the sideline as well.
Rodgers-Cromartie is doubtful to return due to a sprained left knee, while Rolle sustained a head injury and was announced as questionable to return.
