--QB Kurt Warner was very efficient in his first playoff appearance since 2001. Warner was 19 of 32 for 271 yards and two touchdowns. He threw for three first downs on the team's final possession.

--WR Anquan Boldin suffered a strained hamstring against the Falcons and likely will be questionable for Sunday's game. Don't expect Boldin to practice this week, or for the Cardinals to say much about the injury. They give few details about injuries.

--DE Travis LaBoy has missed three straight games with an ankle sprain. Coaches were hopeful he would play last week but he had a setback in practice. He likely will be questionable again this week.

--TE Leonard Pope suffered a knee injury against Seattle and was inactive for the Falcons game.

--S Antrel Rolle's 27-yard fumble return for a touchdown was the team's first defensive touchdown in playoff history.

REPORT CARD VS. FALCONS

PASSING OFFENSE: A - QB Kurt Warner didn't throw as much as usual but he had touchdown passes of 71 and 42 yards. He was sacked once and his only interception came on a ball that should have been caught.

RUSHING OFFENSE A - The Cardinals have struggled so much this season that an 86-yard day merits a high grade. The run game was productive with Edgerrin James averaging 4.6 yards a carry. He finished with 73 yards.

PASS DEFENSE: A - The Cardinals made Matt Ryan look like a rookie, intercepting him twice and sacking him three times. They gave receiver Roddy White a big cushion, but his 11 catches produced just 84 yards.

RUSH DEFENSE: A - The Cardinals were disciplined and physical. They missed few tackles and held the Falcons to 60 yards rushing, including just six in the second half. Michael Turner gained only 42 yards on 18 carries.

SPECIAL TEAMS: A - The coverage teams were excellent, and punter Ben Graham put four kicks inside the Falcons' 20 and three of those were inside the 10. Kicker Neil Rackers missed a 51-yard field goal.

COACHING: A - The game plans on both sides of the ball were excellent. Defensively, the Cardinals changed things up by using different looks along the line. On offense, it made good sense to continue to call runs, and the decision to throw at the end of the game was bold.
