Green Bay Vs. Arizona Game Score Record Breaking in Overtime; Kurt Warner Victorious
It Took a Sudden Death Overtime to Decide Packers Vs. Cardinals Game on Sunday Night
The Packers-Cardinals game was tied at 45 to 45 heading into overtime, with this already being a game of records, with the NFL record for most first downs and most total yards had already set new records. The total points of 90 was already a record too, with at least three points still set to add to the board in the overtime period. Coming into that overtime, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers already had 408 passing yards and four touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, future Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner had 389 passing yards and five touchdowns, all accomplished on just 29 of 33 passing for an amazing quarterback rating in the game.
Right out of the gate in overtime, the Packers and Aaron Rodgers took a deep shot that fell incomplete, but it showed they wanted to keep the momentum flowing. Then on the second place, the line got called for holding, and then Aaron Rodgers got his hard anyways. The 2nd & 20 set up an early challenge for the Green Bay Packers offense. Eluding a sack on the next play, they were able to work a 15 yard catch to James Jones setting up a huge 3rd &5 for Aaron Rodgers. The very next play changed everything though, as Aaron Rodgers fumbled the ball and the Arizona Cardinals ran it back for a touchdown to win the game and move into the NFC Divisional Playoffs. The Arizona defense came through when it counted the most.

Post a CommentI missed the game but it sounded exciting from all the reports I heard and read! Good recap!
That was not a fumble. Roger's hand was moving forward when the ball was knocked out of it. The ball never hit the ground and another defender caught it and returned it to the endzone. So it was an interception. Another thing as well. After the ball was knocked out of Roger's hand, there was a facemask that occurred to Rogers that was never called.
Technically, (Arizona won on a Non called personal foul and Interception).
