Cards Clinch First Non- Losing Season Since 1998

Posted Dec 30, 07 9:05 PM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – Against the hapless Rams, the Cardinals clinched just their third non-losing season in the team's 20-year Arizona history. Kurt Warner paced the 48-19 rout with 300 yards and three touchdowns, two to Larry Fitzgerald, who finished with a fantasy-friendly 171 yards. Marc Bulger threw for just 176, two picks, and a score.

Also in the afternoon, a team of Steelers backups mounted a fourth-quarter rally in Baltimore but fell short, 27-21, ensuring a fourth seed and first-round date with Jacksonville in the playoffs. Ravens reserve back Musa Smith keyed the win, rumbling for 83 yards and a score. Pittsburgh's Santonio Holmes was the fantasy hero with 98 and a touchdown.
