2. (5)Arizona Cardinals at (4)Carolina Panthers (4:35 ET Saturday, ESPN, ESPN3: Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden, and Lisa Salters) Sunset at 5:24.
Some have said this is the worst playoff game ever, but I disagree. The Panthers defense played lights out in December, and may have cost Mike Smith his job last Sunday. Cam Newton seems to be a changed man after the car accident he survived, and the flashes of brilliance from 2013 appear to be returning. Neither the Panthers nor the Cardinals have ever lost a Wild Card Game. The Panthers are the first-ever back-to-back champions of the NFC South. ESPN's playoff commercial has better music than any of its Monday night commercials, which were already on an epic level. ESPN also brought back old Cam Newton and Larry Fitzgerald This Is SportsCenter commercials in anticipation of the network's first-ever playoff game! Panthers 19, Cardinals 18
Last year when the Lions made the amazing last-minute drive to take the win over Big D, which concluded with Matt Stafford's fake spike play, my friend who's a Lions fan gave up on the game before the drive! Never give up on a football game until it is actually over. Pam Oliver rejoins Joe and Troy for the playoffs, this being her third-to-last game ever as a sideline reporter. Lions 38, Cowboys 36
