The Baltimore Ravens were soundly beating the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday when a funny thing happened. Curt Warner replaced a struggling Matt Leinart to lead the Cardinals on a fast and furious comeback attempt.
After Matt Leinart showed that he wasn't up to the task as he completed 9 of 20 passes for a measely 53 yards, Warner was brought in to fire up the Arizona offense. And that is exactly what he did. Warner was 15 of 20 passing and he scored two TD's as he and the Arizona Cardinals came back to tie a game that looked like it was a lost cause.
The other star on the Arizona team was Anquan Boldin. Anquan is a super star who is at his best gaining yards after the catch. Anquan had a magnificent game catching 14 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald struggled throughout the game as Boldin put on the afterburners.
But in the end, the Cardinal did what they have done best for the past 20 years, they lost. There were some questionable calls of course, but in a game this close, you need to put up or shut up.
