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.

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.
