Larry Fitzgerald had one of those moments Saturday night where you knew he was going to do everything possible to ensure his team won.
Fitz caught a pass from Carson Palmer on the first play from scrimmage in overtime and went through the Packers’ defense, nearly scoring a touchdown.

That stiffarm was reminiscent of Marshawn Lynch against the Saints. I was surprised he didn’t score on the play. But he took care of it on a surprising shovel pass two plays later:

Fitz gave us the type of memorable moment in overtime that will help us remember his career. He finished with eight catches for 176 yards and a score. As if that weren’t enough, Fitz capped it all off with a classy shoutout in his postgame interview.
