TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- A shaky win over Minnesota clinched a playoff berth for the Arizona Cardinals. Now, they're looking to fly much higher.
''Somebody texted me, 'Hey, you punched your ticket,''' coach Bruce Arians said Friday. ''I said, 'Yeah, we're trying to upgrade to first class.'''
At 11-2 and winner of seven straight, Arizona has its eye on the No. 2 seed in the NFC and the first-round playoff bye that goes with it.
The Cardinals are 3 1/2 games up on second-place Seattle in the NFC West and 2 1/2 ahead of their closest competitor for that No.
