The Baltimore Ravens came out of the tunnel to start the game with a ferocious intensity, which they sustained for virtually all of the first half.

Kurt Warner saved the game on Sunday, even if the Cardinals ended up losing. He ended the game with a passer rating of over 150 and his arm looked electric. He was clearly responsible for Arizona coming back from 23-6 and tying the score.
