Fitzgerald says Stanton played last 2 games with torn ACL

Larry Fitzgerald revealed in a tweet Sunday that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton started the final two games of the regular season despite tearing his ACL.

So proud of the way the team competed today. Showed a lot of character all day. Especially @drewstanton, he has the heart of a champion. Played the last two weeks for his brothers despite an ACL tear. Love ya man!!

The hobbled Stanton led Arizona to two straight wins to close out the campaign, including a 26-24 victory Sunday over the divisional-rival Seattle Seahawks.

"God bless Drew Stanton," Arians said, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. "He is just a winner. To take that bunch of guys that were left on the field and go down and get a winning field goal was truly amazing, one of the best performances I've seen."

Stanton didn't appear on the team's injury report in Week 16 or 17, so it's possible the Cardinals could be getting a call from the league.
