Headed in to 3rd quarter Donovan McNabb and the Eagles seemed down and out. But McNabb didn't go out without a fight. When McNabb connected with rookie WR DeShawn Jackson on 62 yard touchdown. The Eagles had comeback from 18 point deficit. To take the lead 25-24 with 10:45 left in the forth quarter. McNabb finshed the game going 28 for 47 with 375 yards passing with three touchdowns but it wasn't enough for the Eagles.
As Kurt Warner led the Cardinals down the field on a 14 play 72 yard drive that killed 7:46 of he clock. The Drive was capped of by an eight yard TD pass to Tim Hightower. The Cardinals the converted the 2 point conversion when Warner connected with Ben Patrick. This gave the Cardinals a 7 point lead with 2:53 seconds left.
This gave the Eagles one last chance to tie the game with last drive. The drive started well McNabb led the Eagles to the Cardinals 47 yard line. But that as far the drive went as the drive stalled with 4 straight incomplete passes giving the Cardinals back the ball with 1:51 left. The Cardinals were able to waste the rest of the clock to hold on to the victory.
The victory sends the upstart Arizona Cardinals to their first Super Bowl game ever and their first NFL championship game in 61 years. Who would of thunk it a few weeks ago. The Arizona Cardinals one win away from being World Champions.
