Even more interesting to me is the companion article, "Johnson's defenses have a good track record of disrupting Warner".

While that's true, at least to some extent, his centerpiece is the 2002 game the Eagles won 10-3 at home.

Warner played that game with a broken throwing hand. That's kind of important information to leave out when talking about him being flummoxed.

True, but that game marked the first time in 34 games that the Rams had been held without an offensive TD -- and that includes 8 games during the 2002 season that he played with a fractured finger on his throwing hand.

Nope. He only played with the broken hand against the Eagles. He broke the finger early in week 4 against the Cowboys, and sat down immediately until it healed. Then he broke the hand on the final offensive play against the Redskins the week before playing the Eagles. Team said it was bruised, didn't have it x-rayed until after the Eagles game.

Warner did not play with a broken hand in 2002... except for the Eagles game.
