Glendale, AZ (My Sportsbook) - Kurt Warner threw two touchdowns and the Arizona defense came up with two big plays as the Cardinals downed the Atlanta Falcons, 30-24, in NFC Wild Card play. Warner went 19-for-32 with 271 yards and an interception while Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald each had a touchdown catch for the NFC West-champion Cardinals (10-7), who played their first home playoff game since the team relocated from St. Louis to Phoenix in 1988 and the franchise's first home playoff game overall since 1947, when the team was playing in Chicago. Edgerrin James had 16 carries for 73 yards while the defense came up with a fumble return for a touchdown and a safety for Arizona, which was making its first postseason appearance in 10 years. Tim Hightower had a rushing touchdown in the win. Arizona will now take to the road for its next playoff game as the team will play either Carolina or the New York Giants. Should the Minnesota Vikings prevail in tomorrow's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona will take on New York, but if the Eagles win the Cardinals will face Carolina. Rookie of the Year Matt Ryan was impressive at times, but threw two costly interceptions and finished the game 26-for-40 with 199 yards and two scores for the Falcons (11-6), who made their first postseason appearance since the 2004 season. Michael Turner had a sub-par game as he finished with just 42 yards on 18 carries with a score while Roddy White had 11 catches for 84 yards and a score for Atlanta, which bounced back from a 4-12 2007 season which saw star signal-caller Michael Vick incarcerated for his involvement in a dogfighting ring and previous head coach Bobby Petrino walk away from the mess with three games still to play.

Final Score: San Diego 23, Indianapolis 17 (OT)

San Diego, CA (My Sportsbook) - Darren Sproles filled in for an injured LaDainian Tomlinson and carried the Chargers to a dramatic overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts, as his 22-yard touchdown scamper in the extra session gave San Diego a 23-17 decision in an entertaining AFC Wild Card matchup. Sproles scored another rushing touchdown while adding 105 yards on the ground, 45 yards on five catches through the air, and 178 combined return yardage for the Chargers (9-8), who are riding a five-game win streak, including a 52-21 thumping over AFC West rival Denver in a regular season finale that played as a de facto playoff clash. Tomlinson, who was questionable with a groin injury, logged 25 yards and a touchdown on five carries but did not play in the second half. Philip Rivers had 217 yards passing with an interception on 20-of-36 throws, while Antonio Gates, who was also a game-time decision with an ankle injury, hauled in a team-high eight receptions for 87 yards. Peyton Manning, who picked up his third MVP award earlier this week, threw for 310 yards and a touchdown on 25-of-42 efficiency, but it wasn't enough as the Colts (12-5) had their nine-game winning streak snapped. Reggie Wayne caught four balls for 129 yards and a touchdown, while Anthony Gonzalez finished with six grabs for 97 yards for Indianapolis, which was ousted by the Chargers in the playoffs for the second straight season. Joseph Addai led an anemic running game with 44 yards and a score on 16 carries, as the Chargers had a 167-64 advantage on the ground. San Diego will visit the top-ranked Tennessee Titans or AFC North champion Pittsburgh next weekend, depending on the outcome of Sunday's Baltimore/Miami bout.
