Kurt Warner

Many of you read our story “When I get to Heaven; NFL Edition”, where one of the featured players was Kurt Warner. Warner, a ‘born-again’ Christian, has not been shy on or off of the field about proclaiming his faith. He continues to enlarge his extremely impressive resume with such accomplishments as GFC Player of the Year (1993), five time Pro-bowl selection (1999, 2000, 2001, 2008, and 2009), Super Bowl champion and MVP (XXXIV), and Walter Payton Man Of The Year(2008).

In the 2010 playoffs, January 10, 2010, Warner threw 5 touchdowns and completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards in a 51-45 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The game had the highest combined total score in NFL playoff history. Warner became one of the very few quarterbacks in NFL history to throw more touchdowns (5) than incompletions (4) in a playoff game. Warner finished the game with the second highest quarterback rating in NFL playoff history with a rating of 154.1. He has also become the second quarterback to throw for 5 touchdown passes in a playoff game twice. He is also the oldest player to throw that many touchdown passes in a playoff game (38 years, 202 days). Warner now has the highest game winning percentage for home games in the playoffs: 1.000 (7-0) after Tom Brady lost his first home playoff game that same week (dropping his record to 8-1).

This Saturday, January 16th, 2010, at 4:30pm pst on Fox, Kurt Warner will lead the Arizona Cardinals against the New Orlean Saints. We pray for God’s favor on the game, against all injuries and unsportsman like conduct, and that God’s presence well be felt through out the game.
