Larry Fitzgerald is pushing Arizona to super heights

How many times has a wide receiver carried a team to a Super Bowl once, let alone twice?

Larry Fitzgerald (or "Fitz" if brevity is your thing) is trying to do just that, with a chance to punch his ticket to another Super Bowl berth this Sunday.

It was Fitzgerald's 75-yard catch and run in overtime that lifted the Arizona Cardinals past the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round. He'll face stiff competition in the NFC Championship against a dominant Carolina defense and its Pro Bowl cover corner Josh Norman.

Norman has been like kryptonite to superstar receivers this season, as he either greatly limited or completely shut down playmakers like Dez Bryant, Julio Jones and T.Y. Hilton, among others.

It wouldn't be the first time Fitzgerald faced long odds, though. At age 32 and with declining numbers over the last couple of years, nobody thought that "Fitz" would be an elite receiver again- just ask anyone who plays fantasy. However, Fitzgerald's move into the slot receiver position has revitalized his career and made him almost as scary as he was back in 2009.

Yes, it's already been seven years since Larry Fitzgerald tore through the secondaries of the NFC playoffs en route to a Super Bowl berth. In that year's NFC title game, Fitzgerald had nine catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns, per ESPN.com. If he does anything like that this Sunday, the Cardinals will likely be Super Bowl-bound once again, with a chance to come out on top this time around. Luckily for the Cardinals, Santonio Holmes and his tiptoes are no longer in the NFL.
