PHOENIX -
Three Cardinal players invited, three players contribute. Okay, at least two out of three and according to Meatloaf, two out of three ain't bad. Safety Adrian Wilson started but didn't record a tackle or an interception, but regardless, he was still recognized for his contributions.
Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson, now that's a different story. Fitzgerald scored the games first two touchdowns, both coming in the first quarter. The first, a10 yard pass from Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the second TD, a 44 yard bomb, again from Rodgers. Fitz also caught a TD pass from Cam Newton in the fourth quarter, a 36 yard strike for the NFC's final touchdown of the game. Larry finished the game with 6 catches for 111 yards and three touchdowns.
Peterson, a rookie, was the NFC's kick-off returner, and finished the day with 4 returns for 101 yards, good enough for a 25.3 yard average. He also caught a pass for 8 yards and intercepted a pass by San Diego Quarterback Phillip Rivers at the goal line, preventing an AFC touchdown. Oh, and he pitched the second half kick-off return to Corey Graham after he had gained 10 yards. Graham picked up an additional 16 yards.
A nice day for the Cardinals in Hawaii, even though the AFC won the game, 59 to 41.
