It’ll be the Arizona Cardinals against the Pittsburgh Steelers in two weeks, and both teams had to earn their tickets to Tampa in Sunday’s Conference Round games.

Arizona started things off by putting Larry Fitzgerald in the end zone three times against the defensively sound Philadelphia Eagles – and that was just in the first half. Philly (-4) fought back and briefly took a 25-24 lead in the fourth quarter, but Tim Hightower had the decisive score in a 32-25 Arizona victory.

The Steelers also got the first licks in against the Baltimore Ravens, going up 13-0 early in the second before Baltimore launched its comeback. A Willis McGahee TD run narrowed the Pittsburgh lead to 16-14, but the Steelers cut off the potential winning drive with a 40-yard Troy Polamalu interception return for a TD, sealing a payday for Pittsburgh (-6) on the 23-14 final.
