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.

Who are the hot teams in the NFL this year?
This is always a fun question and soon we will find out.
I have to think that these teams are going to be in the chase for the SuperBowl:
1. Baltimore Ravens - Almost the same defense as last year which is saying alot. Also, a small improvment to the offensive line and a better running back (Willis -VS- Jamal) makes them more dangerous than ever.
2. Indanapolis Colts - Powerful offense similar to last year. They were good enough to take it all last year and might still be.
3. New England Patriots - A strong team gets even stronger. With one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL (Brady) and a powerfull offensive line in addition to a strong running back these guys are for real. Add to that an improved defense that already was very good and this team is ready to go all of the way.
4. San Diego Chargers - Quarterback (River) has a full year of experience in this offense now. LT is ready to tear it up once again. This team is explosive. Watch out!
