Nashville, TN (My Sportsbook) - Matt Stover's 43-yard field goal with 53 seconds to play lifted the Baltimore Ravens to a 13-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans in an AFC Divisional playoff battle. Baltimore started the winning drive at its own 24 and on its first set of downs faced a 3rd- and-2, but Joe Flacco hit Todd Heap for 23 yards to get the ball across midfield. An 11-yard run by Willis McGahee gave Baltimore another first down, but the team stalled at the Tennessee 25 before Stover's winning kick. Tennessee was unable to move the ball after the kickoff and on fourth down Kerry Collins' pass fell incomplete and Baltimore killed off the rest of the clock for the win. The rookie Flacco went 11-for-22 with 161 yards and a touchdown while ex- Titan Derrick Mason had five catches for 78 yards and a touchdown for the Ravens (13-5), who will be on the road next week to face the winner of Sunday's San Diego/Pittsburgh game for the AFC Championship. The Baltimore defense gave up 391 yards to Tennessee, but recovered two fumbles and an interception in its own territory to keep the Titans offense in check. Baltimore made it to the next round game thanks to 27-9 victory over Miami last Sunday. Also, the team extracted a bit of revenge against Tennessee as the Titans defeated the Ravens, 13-10, in Week 5 of the regular season at Baltimore. Collins was 26-for-42 with 281 yards and a pick while Chris Johnson finished the game with 72 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown, but left in the second quarter with a right ankle injury, for the Titans (13-4), who came into the game with the top seed in the AFC. Justin Gage had 10 catches for 135 yards in defeat. Final Score: Arizona 33, Carolina 13 Charlotte, NC (My Sportsbook) - Larry Fitzgerald stepped up for the injured Anquan Boldin with eight receptions for 166 yards and a score, and Arizona capitalized off six Jake Delhomme turnovers to shock the Carolina Panthers, 33-13, to move into the NFC Championship Game for the first time in franchise history. In the playoffs for the first time since 1998, the NFC West champions were coming off a 30-24 home win over Atlanta last Saturday. Boldin suffered a strained left hamstring in that game and was held out of this contest, but Fitzgerald, the third overall draft pick in 2004, had six catches for 151 yards and his touchdown in the first half, jolting the Cardinals to a surprising 27-7 lead. In fact, Arizona scored 33 straight points after Jonathan Stewart capped the game-opening drive with a nine-yard touchdown run. Kurt Warner connected on 21-of-32 passes for 220 yards with two scores and was picked off once for the Cardinals (11-7), who won a pair of playoff games in the same season for the first time in franchise history. The last time the team made it this far was when the 1948 Chicago Cardinals lost the league championship game at Philadelphia. In 1998 the Cardinals won at Dallas in the wild card round before falling at Minnesota. Ten years later head coach Ken Whisenhunt has his team knocking on the door of the first Super Bowl appearance in franchise annals. To get there Arizona will have to beat either the top-seeded New York Giants or Philadelphia Eagles next weekend. If the Giants win Sunday's game, they'll host the Cardinals, but if Philadelphia is victorious the NFC title game will be held in Glendale. The Cardinals turned around their misfortunes of an 0-5 record in the Eastern time zone this season. That included a 27-23 loss at Carolina on October 26 when the Cardinals blew a 17-3 lead in the third quarter. It was an unpleasant 34th birthday for Delhomme, as he was picked off a career-high five times and also fumbled the ball away. He ended 17-of-34 for 205 yards with one TD and DeAngelo Williams was limited to 63 yards on the ground for the Panthers (12-5), who suffered their first home loss since December 22, 2007 against Dallas.
