At Glendale, Arizona:
Linebacker Karlos Dansby's 17-yard fumble return for a touchdown in overtime lifted the Arizona Cardinals to a 51-45 win over the Green Bay Packers in an NFC Wild-Card game on Sunday. It was the highest scoring playoff game in NFL history. Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner threw for five touchdowns (two each to Larry Fitzgerald and Early Doucet and one to Steve Breaston) in the contest while his Packers counterpart Aaron Rodgers threw for four scores (one each to Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, James Jones, and Spencer Havner) and ran for one himself, but threw one interception and committed the overtime fumble that was run back for the Cards' game-winning score.
This coming Saturday, the Cardinals will play the New Orleans Saints on the road in an NFC divisional playoff (1:30 PM Pacific Time/Fox).
Dallas will be at Minnesota in the other NFC semifinal next Sunday (10:00 AM Pacific Time/Fox).
