| Saints Rout Cardinals 45-14 To Reach NFC Championship Game | | | Reggie Bush accounted for 217 all-purpose yards and two scores, including an 83-yard punt return for a touchdown, highlighting New Orleans' convincing 45-14 victory over reigning NFC-champion Arizona in a divisional playoff meeting at the Superdome. The Saints emphatically answered any doubts regarding the effects of a three- game losing streak that spoiled their perfect 13-0 regular season record, as their defense forced two turnovers and posted a shutout in the second half. Kurt Warner was briefly knocked out of the game and ended with 205 yards and an interception on 17-of-26 throws in possibly the last game of the 38-year- old's historic career.
