GLENDALE, ARIZ. — Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald sent the Arizona Cardinals into the playoffs as winners. Warner threw four touchdown passes, his most in seven years, then sat out the


fourth quarter and the Cardinals beat Seattle, 34-21, to spoil the final game of Mike Holmgren’s decade as Seahawks coach. Two of Warner’s touchdowns went to Fitzgerald, who caught five


passes for 130 yards. His scoring receptions measured five and 38 yards. The Cardinals (9-7), who had been blown out twice since clinching the NFC West title, finished the regular season


with a winning record for the first time in a decade and the second time since 1984. They play Atlanta at home Saturday. Warner completed 19 of 30 passes for 263 yards. Matt Leinart replaced


Warner, whose 30 touchdown passes this season are a franchise record. Quoteworthy: “Somewhere in the second quarter we woke up and we played like the Cardinals.” -- Ken Whisenhunt,
