2009 NFC Championship
Its up to the Phildeliphia Eagles or Arizona Cardinal to represent the NFC this year at Superbowl. The Phildeliphia Eagles defeated the Gaints this past Sunday with a 23-11 victory win. The Arizona Cardinal however, upset the Carolina Panthers this past Saturday with a 33-13 win. The Phildeliphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinal will play at Arizona to see who will represent the NFC this Sunday, January 18, 2009 at 3:00 PM.
The Philadelphia Eagles defense held the NY Giant to 5 possessions inside their territory and a score of 23-11. The 5 possessions all resulted in FG kicks and John Carney went 3/5 as the Giants only points came on 3 field goals and a safety. The Eagles (9-6-1) will have to rely on that defense in order to stop Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals (9-7) in the NFC Championship Game.
The Cardinals, who handedly dispatched the Carolina Panthers 33-13, will host the first NFC Championship game in over 60 years and have proved a lot of pundits wrong this season. After getting blown out by the Patriots in week 16, little had faith the team would succeed any further. “Nobody believed this, nobody expected this,” Kurt Warner said after the Carolina game. Maybe it’s time to believe.
NFC History
The NFC Championship is the way to the Super Bowl, no two ways around it! This Championship is the semi final, matching the top two teams in the division, determining the champion of the National Football Conference. The winning team receives the George Halas trophy, and goes head to head with the winner of the American Football Conference. The NFC Championship had its start in 1970, when the NFL Merged with the AFL. The NFC was created with the teams that were NFL before the merger took place. In the end of each football season, a series of playoff games take place, involving the top six teams – four division champs and two wild cards. The two remaining teams play in the NFC Championship game.
