GLENDALE, Ariz. - Karlos Dansby came back and lived up to his big-play reputation, and then some.

The linebacker intercepted two passes and forced a fumble to help Arizona's defense make mistake-prone Detroit look like the lowly Lions of old in the Cardinals' win.

Two of Dansby's plays led to Arizona touchdowns in his first game since going down early against Carolina on Oct. 14.

Kurt Warner, playing with a torn ligament in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, shook off an early interception to complete 26-of-36 for 259 yards and three touchdowns, two to Larry Fitzgerald.
