Cardinals Beat Eagles 40-17 to Clinch NFC West

PHILADELPHIA — The Arizona Cardinals will enjoy their new hats and T-shirts for a night. Then they'll focus on bigger goals.

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 NFC West title since 2009.

"(It) really isn't our goal," said coach Bruce Arians, who wore an "NFC West Champions" hat afterward. "There's not a whole lot of whooping and hollering in the locker room because that's not the final one. It's just the beginning."

The Cardinals (12-2) can earn a first-round bye with a victory over Green Bay next week.
