wild card sunday the morning after it was sure a wild one. and it featured the arizona cardinals winning a thriller over green bay in overtime 51-45. arizona was up at one point 31-10 before green bay came back to tie it. arizona missed a field goal to win it at the end of the 4th quarter but the ball missed the goal posts. arizona wins it after aaron rodgers trie to pass the ball and he got hit by an arizona defender, the ball gets popped up and another defender grabs the bal out of the air and ran it into the end zone. arizona now goes to new orleans to play the saints in the divisional while dallas plays minnesota - both in the NFC. in the AFC, baltimore beat new england 33-14, handing new ingland its first home loss of the year and first playoff home loss since 1978. baltimore will play indianapolis while the n.y. jets goes to san diego in the AFC divisional. getting interesting i say.
