They clinch the nfc west for the First Time Since 2009. The eagles, as we just heard al say, are still alive despite the record of 68 in the very forgiving nfc east. Carson palmer is an mvp candidate. He went 20 of 32 for 274 and a touchdown. David johnson with andnd elliliton and chris johnsosoout, the rookie from Northern Iowa steps up and carries 29 times for 187 yards, 187 yards. Also had four catches, scored carson and johnson who get the game balls and get chance to talk with michele. On this date in 2009 when the cardinals won their last nfc West Division tiblgts. Tle. You do it again tonight. I know you have loftier goals but how gratifying is this . Very gratifying. To come in here againsa team at needs this win also. This is a grown man behind you who couldnt be prouder o of the way he broke tackles and always fell forward. You set a single season record for points. You had this guy, as youou mentioned, david junsonohnson, run for three touchdowns. What is it like to quarterback an offense when you have so many options . Its a blast, its a blast to be p pt of this group. Grind it out did you aring the week. Were coached hard and play hard on sundays. Its been a blast. On your throwing hand. We saw you get it taped up. Im worrying about tyrann right now. Thatts just a bump on the knee. But you hate to see that, the season hes having. And been praying for him nonstop. Will continue to do so, hope hes all right. Were talking about Tyrann Mathieu who injured himself just bebere the game. Congratulations. Thank you. Well update you on Tyrann Mathieu when we can. But david johnson, three touchdowns. Talk about the second one. A 47yarde take us throh that run. What were you seeing . Just an outside zone. I had good blocking where i was able to cut back. Brokeles and stiff arms and got in. Youre a rookie who has been able to step in. How have you handled all the responsibility that entails . Always talking to carson and talking to stump and andre trying to get better every day our team. As a rookie, you come in and get a 12win season and win the division. What is this like . Feels great. Amazing. Hopefully continue the success and get ready for green bay and come back and get ready. Big night. Congratulations. Thank you. Michele, thanks, with regard to Tyrann Mathieu hes already been in and out of xray, but we dont have word yet on what that revealed. If we get any infoation before we leave the air, well pass it on to you. Lets take a look at the nfc playoff picture with this result. If washington wins here saturday night in philadelphia, then washington wins the division, but if philly win, the eagles, giants and washington could all enter week 17 with a chance at the title. Seattle and green bay clinched playoff berth and mimiesota is all but assured of getting in. Tony, a lot of focus on the streaking seahawks, but the nfc west champion cardinals have now won eight straight themselves. Who do you see as the most Dangerous Team in the nfc . Looking at the cardinals tonight, bob, they look fantastic. Im going to put my vote in for r them. Very solid on both sides of the ball. We know about that big play passing offense, that blitzing defense, but to me, david johnson, such a differencemaker. Bruce ararns and tom moore, onon of their offensive coaches, they were in indianapolis. This guy reminds me of edgerrin james, playing physical, long tuns, catching the ball. He could be that wildcard that ally gives them the edge. I like what i saw from the cardinalscard cardinals tonight. They still have a small chance to overtake the panthers for the number oneneeed but they can be overtaken by green bay for number two as well. The patriots clinched a bye today while the texans won in indy. Ththchiefs, steelers and jets city and now pittsburgh having the tie breaker edge in the wildcard race. But after that denver loss and with the broncos playing cincinnati next monday, do you think the chiefs who kind of off the radar have won eight straight, do you think they can win the division . I d d bob, and heres why. Theyve got two home games left with cleveland and then finishing with oakland. I believe theyll win those two home games. If they tie with denver, theyll win the division and denver has that game you mentioned against cincinnati. Denver is not playing great on offense. They had some great plays today but not moving the ball well. Cincinnati can score points. I can see cincinnati going in there and winning and kansas city winning their two games and being the Western Division champions. We turn to mike f frio of pro football talk. It got ugly between Odell Beckham jr. And josh norman today at the meadowlands, particularly with so of beckhams actions off the ball. Expecting from the league this week . Im told the League Office believes that Odell Beckham jr. Should have been ejected from the game today. He wasnt. Now will it go beyond merely imposing fines. Would they suspend him particularly for a violent helmet to helmet hit on josh norman under circumstances that there was no reason for that hit to be applied. It will happen on monday. Hell have independent appeal rights. It would all happen quickly, so beckham would know, the giants would know in next sunday nights game if hed be available to practice and play. Well keep an eye on Adrian Petersons ankle this week. He sprayed it against the bears. He missed some time, came back, he didnt have xrays, he didnt but he sprained it. Why a gifted player like Odell Beckham jr. Would diminish himself and his team with play like that. When we come back, well look in on bruce arians post game talk to his team.

No further update on ty mathieu. The cardinals keep on going. They really got something going right now. They look like they can do anything. They can run the ball. They obviously can throw it. Their defense is good. Tyrann mathieu, thats a big deal. That guy does just about everything on the defensive side. So giants and vikings next week. You heard mikekealking about the league thought he should have been ejected. Our friends troy and joe were on top of that. I dont believe they havent thrown him out of the game. Well see what happens. If he gets s spended or not, we dont know. But the giants who still have a chance to win the east. How does that happen . If the giants win their next two philadelphia and washington were to lose two o re and then washington goes to dallas, the giant was be in. Philly controls its own fate. They win two and theyre in, you get washington on top of the division. It is just crazy in the nfc east. Im glad you did all that. Talking about, but not that but anyway, an interesting matchup. Well see about adrian peterson. Minnesota, of course, still vying for a playoff spot even though green bay leads in that division. Still a chance to win the nfc north. But mike zimmer has done some job. Minnesota took this arizona tete that impressed us so much tonight right to the wire. It was a lastminute sack by Dwight Freeney that held them in that game. You ow how good a Team Minnesota is. Seeing the great white north next week. Cannot wait. Happy birthday, michele. And merry christmas, everybody. Well talk to you next sunday from minneapis.
