Peterson had played in every game this year up to this point. Heading into this week, he had made 59 tackles and intercepted two passes. He appeared to have picked off his third pass of the season, but he pulled up lame during the return. Moments later, he realized that it wouldn’t even count.

Now, if this were the Olympics Simpson would probably get a couple points deducted for putting his hand down. But seriously, check this stuff out. Pretty amazing.

Here’s the video, which is just as amazing:

”We’ll see when we get there,” Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said according to The Arizona Republic on Friday. “We’ll make that decision after we travel. We’ve got to see how he (Kolb) responds after the flight today.”

In his first season with the Cardinals, Kolb has completed 57.7 percent of 253 pass attempts for 1,955 yards with nine touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Green leads all rookie receivers with 61 receptions, 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns. With the Bengals still alive in the AFC Playoffs hunt, Green was not going to let the sprained AC joint keep him out of the lineup.

“I had it before and it’s nothing serious. I’m definitely not going to miss these last two games for nothing,” Green said earlier this week according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Cincinnati Bengals seek to hold their claim on the AFC’s final playoff spot this Saturday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, who try to win five in a row for the first time in over 34 years.

Once challengers for the AFC North title, the upstart Bengals eliminated themselves from a chance at first place in the division thanks to a 1-4 span that included consecutive setbacks to Pittsburgh and Houston at the start of December. Cincinnati, though, got its playoff hopes back on track with a 20-13 win over hosting St. Louis last weekend, moving into a tie with the Jets for the conference’s second playoff spot.
