If the Eagles see the Cardinals again in the playoffs, they better come up with a better plan for slowing down Larry Fitzgerald.

The veteran wide receiver was named NFC offensive player of the week after catching seven passes for 160 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles Sunday.

The Cardinals pointed out that all three of his player of the week awards have come for games against Philadelphia.

His 80-yard touchdown during the game showed that Fitzgerald still has plenty of speed, and that he’s right about the “champagne problem” of not getting enough passes thrown his way earlier in the year.
