To conclude one’s career at something close to peak powers is a luxury that every NFL player, Hall of Famer or not, unquestionably aspires to experience. Illustrating the blueprint in what ultimately became his career’s final victory, Kurt Warner — in what still stands as the highest-scoring game in NFL postseason history — helped Arizona go score-for-score with Green Bay’s equally-elite offense. Brilliant enough to throw for more touchdowns than incompletions, Warner was a near-perfect 29-of-33, alongside 379 yards, five touchdowns, and a 154.1 passer rating. It took both overtime and Arizona’s most productive offensive output in its 105-year existence, but by afternoon’s end, Warner’s Cardinals survived for a 51-45 win over the Packers on Jan. 10, 2010.
