Star Player of the Game: Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, who completed 19 of 32 passes for 271 yards, 2 touchdowns & 1 interception.
Arizona safety Adrian Wilson on the team’s underdog status enterting Saturday’s game:
“A lot of people in Atlanta were giving us no chance. There was a lot of talk in the paper from them about how it was a blessing for them to come out here—but it’s not sweet out here.”

Star Player of the Game: Chargers running back Darren Sproles, who rushed 23 times for 105 yards & scored 2 touchdowns.
Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson on his groin injury that forced him out of Saturday’s game:
“From the first run, it was evident that I just didn’t have the burst. I couldn’t put my foot on the ground and get through the hole the way I wanted to. I went as long as I could. After the TD run, it was at the point where I felt like I was making it worse.”

Star Player of the Game: Ravens safety Ed Reed, who recorded 1 tackle & had 2 interceptions. (Reed’s 64-yard 2nd quarter interception was returned for a touchdown)
Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis on Miami’s limited-mistake offense:
“We heard all week that they don’t turn the ball over. But we force turnovers.”

Star Player of the Game: Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, who completed 23 of 34 passes for 300 yards, 1 touchdown & 1 interception.
Eagles defensive end Trent Cole on the team’s pressure of Vikings’ quarterback Tavaris Jackson, who made his playoff debut on Sunday:
“I think we rattled him kind of toward the end. He had to get rid of the ball quick and move around. He was probably getting tight from a lot of pressure.”
