Kurt Warner
It took the Green Bay Packers 23 minutes to get on the board Sunday in Arizona.
Until that point the Arizona Cardinals opened up a 17-0 lead in the final game of the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend and took a 24-10 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers struggled much of the first half and was held to 104 yards passing on 9-of-14 attempts. He was also picked off once.
On the opposite side of the field, Kurt Warner continued to prove that he can quarterback playoff teams, completing 12-of-14 passes while gaining 140 yards through the air. He also threw two touchdown passes.
The veteran quarterback appeared to be shaken up a little bit late in the first half after taking a big shot from Packers linebacker Brandon Chillar. He stayed in the game, however, and led the Cardinals on a eight play, 79-yard scoring drive.
Early Doucet led the Cardinals receiving corps with three catches for 39 yards and two touchdowns.
For the Packers to have a chance to comeback in the second half, they are going to have to find a way to stop the Cardinals offense who racked up 223 yards and 14 first downs in the first two quarters.
