PHILADELPHIA — The Arizona Cardinals are NFC West champions. Now, they have more to accomplish.
David Johnson ran for 187 yards and three touchdowns, Carson Palmer threw a TD pass and the Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Eagles 40-17 on Sunday night to clinch their first division title since 2009.
The Cardinals (12-2) will earn a first-round bye with a victory over Green Bay next week. They still have a chance to secure the No. 1 seed if they win out and Carolina (14-0) loses its last two games.
Afterward, coach Bruce Arians wore a hat that said: "NFC West Champions"
"I have a closet full of them, but this is a good one," he said.
