Cardinals f'd up by throwing the ball with the clock running out the last time they had the ball...The game would be over if they wouldn't have tried to be cute.
No kidding...but that was only one of several unbelievable things just in the last few minutes of the game. What a wacky game...the only thing missing was an inside the park home run!
Packers went for it on 4th and 5 inside their own territory down 4 with less than 4 minutes to go and they failed to convert. AZ was set up in FG range and the Packers only had 1 timeout left. On 2nd down, instead of running the ball to get to the 2 minute warning, AZ attempts a dagger and Palmer throws an incompletion. They're stopped on a third down and the clock stops for the two minute warning. On 4th down, they kick a FG.
The kickoff is fielded right at the goal line and the Packers' return guy is stopped at the 15. Rodgers takes a sack and throws some incompletions and it's 4th and 20 from the 5 yard line. On 4th down, he completes a pass inside AZ territory. On 2nd down, with 5 seconds remaining in the game, Rodgers just manages to heave a Hail Mary and it's caught in the endzone. The XP ties the game with no time remaining on the clock.
On the first OT coin toss, the coin doesn't even flip and they do it over. AZ wins and gets possession. On the first set of downs, Palmer is forced to scramble to his right and he finds Larry Fitzgerald all by himself in the flat on the opposite side of the field and Fitzgerald takes it 70ish yards to the 5. Cardinals score on a shovel pass to Fitzgerald on 2nd and goal. Ballgame.

Also, IIRC, AZ was -7 so a lot of people lost money on that Hail Mary. Which is fantastic. Dipshit gamblers.
