A bad night for the Arizona Cardinals has gotten worse.
How much worse remains to be seen.
On a deep throw from quarterback Kurt Warner on the first drive of the third quarter, receiver Larry Fitzgerald laid out in double coverage to make the catch. As he hit the ground on his front, 49ers safety Dashon Goldson landed on Fitzgerald’s shin, flattening his lower leg against his upper leg.
Slow to get up, Fizgerald limped off the field. ESPN images from the sideline later showed Fitzgerald standing up, taking a step, and then sitting down on the ground. He eventually walked off to the locker room under his own power, but still limping.
Michele Tafoya of ESPN reports that the limp improved as he walked deeper into the tunnel, and that x-rays will be taken. He officially is questionable to return.
We’re routinely amazed by the flexibility of NFL players. The hit that Fitzgerald took tested the limits of the looseness of everything inside his knee; whether the ligaments and cartilage passed the test remains to be seen.
UPDATE: Fitzgerald has returned, without a limp.
Damn you John Madden! Damn you!!!!!
Madden Curse is 2/2 now this year
bummer.

================================
Pure class right here.
Update: Fitz is walking back onto the field.
maybe next year madden should put the entire cowboys sqaud on the cover…
Funny listening to the Arizona excuse makers. LOL Warner has concussion symptoms, Fitz is hurt , etc.
Karma is a bitch, folks.
maybe madden should just put the entire dallas cowboys squad on the cover next year
Fitz is back. Disaster averted.
intercept the ball keep running its a td- so no you fall down and then spike the ball for a 15 yard penalty
miss point after
in the tank
philthy fan,
Careful what you wish for and never wish injury on another team.Would hate to see Reid get a cheeseburger caught in an artery because you brought Karma home.
philthyphan- you better not be an eagles fan making the rest of us look bad.
also madden curse continues. cool
AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE TO FIX A GAME THIS WAY
exactly how arizona was in the tank all those games last year when they tried to lose
ARI 35 @ NYJ 56
NYG 37 @ ARI 29
ARI 20 @ PHI 48
MIN 35 @ ARI 14
ARI 7 @ NE 47
Bob, do the majority a favor and shut the hell up. The outragoeous claims you make are nauseating.
and ron jaworski just said “they just didn’t show up tonite”
exactly what todays nfl is
Wow,Vikings must have been sleeping last week. Glad they got it out of their system.
@philthyphan …
Why? They’ve been imploding every December without any help from Madden.
@mnmaverick …
With all due respect, is that anything like “the refs did it”?

No. The Niners don’t need referee assistance to win games. They don’t lose to the Browns either. You guys should take notes.
Well, it should be interesting to see how this plays out…what will the headline read…
EVERYBODY ON THE OFFENSE QUIT ON THE TEAM….OR…..ENTIRE OFFENSE TAKES PLAYS OFF….I mean come on, if Moss can be dragged through the coals then why not the ENTIRE Cardnals offense….

@Soup to Nuts …
My point was that a Minnesota fan might want to think twice before razzing another team about making excuses for a loss. As a Pack fan, I’m surprised you’d care. But then again, you are a child obsessed.
I’ve already given my hearty congrats to the Browns … as opposed to whining about who was injured or making up fantasies about what the refs did or didn’t do and all those other umpteen nauseating tales you and your little lost lambs make for a loss.
It’s called sportsmanship. Maybe you should take notes.
