Green Bay Packers Vs Arizona Cardinals
Arena: University of Phoenix Stadium
Time: Monday, Jan 04, 2010 at 4:15 PM
League: NFL – United States of America
The Packers’ coach confronts an interesting dilemma. It is possible that his team could meet the Cardinals in the playoffs, the weekend after this Sunday’s matchup. McCarthy may employ a very conservative strategy in an effort to prevent Arizona from seeing too much in case they square off again.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been sacked a league-high 50 times. … Green Bay has the NFC’s top-ranked defense. … Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald, who has 12 touchdowns, can establish a new career-high by scoring next week. … Arizona’s Kurt Warner was snubbed from the Pro Bowl.
The Cardinals’ coach faces a similar dilemma, but his is even more complex. Arizona has a chance to earn the NFC’s second seed and a bye if the Vikings and Eagles both lose. He will have to weigh which is more important: playoff positioning or resting his starters and keeping plays under wraps due to the possibility of facing the Packers in successive weeks.
Green Bay cruised to an easy 48-10 victory over Seattle. … Arizona pounded NFC West rival St. Louis, 3. Highlights and results will be available soon.. stay tuned.
