Revenge of the Birds: Cardinals Stepped Up

by Sean Keeley

Cardinals blog Revenge of the Birds saw plenty of positives tonight from Kurt Warner and the offensive line. But it was the defense they were most impressed with.

The Cardinals defense wiped any memory they had of last weeks performance and dominated the Vikings high-powered offense. Adrian Peterson was held to 13 carries for 19 yards, while Brett Favre was picked off twice and had a quarterback rating of 79.4. The Cardinals defensive line also found ways to penetrate into the backfield and sacked Favre 3 times on the night.

Between the win and the Niners loss today, the Cardinals took a three-game lead in the NFC West en route to repeating as division champ.
