The pairing for Super Bowl XLIII is now set as the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers were each victorious on Sunday. The Cardinals advanced to their first Super Bowl with a 32-25 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens by a final score of 23-14. Kurt Warner was 21-for-28 with four touchdowns, three to Larry Fitzgerald in the first half and an 8-yard pass to Tim Hightower, which became the game-winner. Philadelphia scored 19 unanswered points in the second half to take a 25-24 lead with two touchdowns from Donovan McNabb to Brent Celek and a miraculous second by DeSean Jackson. With the Cardinals' entry to the Super Bowl, the Browns, Lions, Jaguars, Texans and Saints are the only teams without an appearance in football's biggest game. The Steelers were unable to run the ball against Baltimore, but with the arm of Ben Roethlisberger and a defense that created an 18.2 passer rating for Joe Flacco was enough to reach their seven Super Bowl with a chance to win an NFL-record sixth. Troy Polamalu put the game away with an Ed Reed style 40-yard interception return for a touchdown with 4:24 remaining in the 4th quarter.

The Steelers shook off a 7-0 deficit, controlled Darren Sproles, and returned some normalcy to the postseason by beating the Chargers 35-24 in an AFC divisional game Sunday, as reported by the Associated Press. The Steelers will host rival Baltimore next weekend in the AFC title game.

The Eagles defeated the defending-champion Giants in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon 23-11 on the strength of their stifling defense. The win means that the Eagles will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday. Donovan McNabb wasn't outstanding, going 22-for-40 with 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, but his counterpart, Eli Manning, was downright horrible. Manning went 15-for-29 with 169 yards and two interceptions. Both teams placed a tremendous amount of defensive pressure on the opposing quarterback, but McNabb handled the attention slightly better. Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward combined for 138 yards on 31 carries, but didn't reach the end zone. Philadelphia struggled on the ground, but took advantage of favorable field position created by their defense. Brian Westbrook had 36 yards on eighteen carries, while Correll Buckhalter added 7 yards on five touches. Eagles' rookie receiver DeSean Jackson had four catches for a game-high 81 yards, including a huge 48-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that he brought to the Giants' one-yard line. The result will enter the history books as the first game to ever end 23-11. The strange score was created by a safety in the second quarter when McNabb was called for intentional grounding while throwing out of his own end zone. Philadelphia has advanced to the NFC Title game in five of the last eight seasons.

Jonathan Stewart gave his team a 7-0 lead, but the Cardinals scored 33 consecutive points to knock off the favored Panthers at home. Kurt Warner, who earned $1 million in incentives by simply playing in the divisional game, went 21-for-32 with 220 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Tim Hightower and Edgerrin James combined to rush for 133 yards and a touchdown on thirty-seven carries, but it was the defense that carried Arizona. The Cardinals' defense recorded two sacks, collected a lost fumble, and intercepted Jake Delhomme five times. Delhomme had the worst playoff performance of his career, going 17-for-34 with 205 yards, one touchdown and the aforementioned five picks. DeAngelo Williams, who set the league on fire in the season's second half, tallied just 63 yards on twelve carries. Stewart had just 12 yards and the game's first touchdown on three touches. Larry Fitzgerald, playing without running mate Anquan Boldin (hamstring), had a game-high eight catches for 166 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals will face the winner of the Eagles-Giants game in next weekend's NFC Championship Game.

The Ravens knocked off the top-seeded Titans on Saturday afternoon 13-10 on a late field goal by Matt Stover. Baltimore's Joe Flacco became the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to win two playoff games. Flacco went 11-for-22 with 161 yards and a touchdown, while his counterpart, Kerry Collins, went 26-for-42 with 281 yards and an interception for Tennessee. Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain combined for 44 yards on twenty-four carries in the win. Derrick Mason, Flacco's favorite target nearly from Day One, had five receptions 78 yards and a score. The Titans' Chris Johnson rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown, and LenDale White tallied 45 yards on fifteen carries in the loss. Justin Gage was the game's leading receiver, tallying ten receptions for 135 yards. Tennessee turned the ball over three times -- White and tight end Alge Crumpler lost fumbles -- while Baltimore took great care of the football. The Ravens will face the winner of the Chargers-Steelers game in the AFC Championship Game next weekend.

QB Tim Tebow gave Florida the lift it needed to become a national champion on Thursday night, as the Florida Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14. ?I?ll tell you, we?re going to enjoy a big win, we?re going to enjoy the national championship,? coach Urban Meyer said after the Gators big win. RealGM Note: Florida had a +1.5 Trench Counter over Oklahoma in the game. Their season Trench Counter average of +18.0 per game was higher than USC's 17.1, Oklahoma's 15.7, Texas' 12.9 and Utah's 9.0.

Left out of the BCS national title game, quarterback Colt McCoy and Texas made the most of their trip to the Fiesta Bowl. McCoy hit Quan Cosby for a 26-yard touchdown with 16 seconds to play, lifting Texas to a 24-21 victory over Ohio State on Monday night, as reported by the Associated Press.

The Miami Dolphins, along with the New York Giants, set a record in a 16-game season with the fewest number of turnovers with 13. In their 27-9 loss to Baltimore in the playoffs on Sunday, Miami turned the ball over five times. Chad Pennington was responsible for four of those turnovers, by throwing just three fewer interceptions than he did during the entire season. Patrick Cobbs had the other turnover with a fumble.

QB Kurt Warner opened with a 42-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald and connected with Anquan Boldin on a 71-yard scoring play as the Cardinals beat the Falcons 30-24 Saturday before a raucous Arizona crowd, as reported by the Associated Press.
