Former NFL MVP Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals host rookie quarterback Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Wild Card game on Saturday. Warner finished second in the NFL in passing yards with 4,583, throwing for a franchise-record 30 touchdowns this season. His counterpart, Matt Ryan threw for 3,440 yards and 16 touchdowns in his rookie season and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year. "I'm certainly flattered," Ryan said. "There's a number of guys who had great rookie seasons this year, so to even be mentioned in that light is nice. It's certainly a great honor, and I think it speaks to what we did as a team this year." Ryan got plenty of help this season as running back Michael Turner rushed for 1,699 yards and 17 touchdowns.
