Philadelphia at Arizona (01/18/2009)

Philadelphia (11-6-1) and Arizona (11-7) met on Thanksgiving, but few could have predicted that would be an NFC championship game preview. The teams entered that matchup at Lincoln Financial Field headed in opposite directions. Arizona never got in the game, though, as Philadelphia jumped to a 21-0 lead en route to a 48-20 victory. McNabb completed 27 of 39 passes for 260 yards and a season-high four touchdowns, and has been carrying the team ever since. Although it won the weak NFC West and had won only two playoff games in their history prior to this season, the Cardinals have been at their best in this postseason and now become the first No. 4 seed to host a conference championship game.The Cardinals are 7-2 at home this season, including a 30-24 win over Atlanta in the wild-card round, but Philadelphia is not going to be intimidated. After winning just three road games during the regular season, the Eagles have had no trouble playing away from Philadelphia in the postseason. They've already won at the Metrodome, where the Vikings were 6-2 during the regular season, and at Giants Stadium, where New York was 7-1. The Eagles have forced five turnovers and allowed 322 passing yards in the postseason. Philadelphia had the league's third-ranked defense during the regular season (274.3 yards per game), and has allowed just four TDs in the past six games. While Arizona relies on its high-scoring offense, the Cardinals defense has surprisingly stepped up in the playoffs. Arizona was 19th in total defense during the regular season (331.5 ypg), but has limited its two playoff opponents to an average of 259.5 yards.
