Saturday's Cardinals-Packers game was too good for a Hollywood script. It had all the drama we needed, but "Saturday Night Live" had something ready for comedic relief.

Actor Adam Driver (Kylo Ren in "Star Wars") hosted "SNL" on Saturday, and he broke out a solid Cris Collinsworth impression for NBC's Sunday Night Football crew.



The point of the skit was to poke fun at how football broadcasts show us every angle of a gruesome injury despite the announcers' concerned and somber tone. In this parody, the Cardinals injured every Packers quarterback and de-kneecapped (that's a thing, right?) Green Bay's fictional fourth-string quarterback.

The best part about that premise was that the Cardinals were seriously lacking a pass rush in the real-life game. But hey, they did accurately predict that the Cardinals would win.

Plus, Bruce Arians was impersonated on SNL, which officially means the Cardinals have made it.
