Here is the NFL Network's game highlight package from Sunday's game:
Here are some of Warner's comments to the NFL Network:
“We were excited about what we accomplished and getting that close. Now we're just looking to take the next step.” – Warner on the Cardinals Super Bowl appearance in 2009 and their expectations for this season
“I don't think anybody really knows who the Cardinals are because we have not shown up every week. We've played some great games and beat some great teams, but there's still a little inconsistency and that's what people see.” – Warner on the 2009 Cardinals
“I've always played the game more with my right arm and my mind than with the rest of my body. So as I get older and maybe a little bit slower than I was before, it doesn't affect my game like it can affect other guys. I've gotten better, I've gotten smarter and I understand the game more. That's why I'm having success later in this stage of my career.” – Warner on his playing style and his career
“I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do moving forward, but there's days where you think, ‘I don't want to play anymore,' then there's days when you think, ‘I can still play at a high level.' You never want to make an emotional decision and a career decision like that in the middle of a lot of stuff going on. We'll see how the season ends up and how the playoffs go. Those things can always change your mind and winning a Super Bowl could definitely influence you one way or the other.” –
