A badly bruised hand isn’t going to keep Michael Vick off the field.

Vick practiced Wednesday and said there’s a “100 percent” chance he starts when the Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) host San Francisco (2-1) on Sunday.

The star quarterback was initially diagnosed with a broken, non-throwing hand after getting hurt in a 29-16 loss to the New York Giants three days ago. But tests on Monday revealed he had a contusion on his right hand.

St. Louis trailed Atlanta by 10½ games on Aug. 25. The Cardinals won 23 of their last 31 games.

The Cardinals open the postseason Saturday at NL East champion Philadelphia. In the other NL playoff matchup, Arizona visits Milwaukee.

Phillies 4, Braves 3, 13 inn.: Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel surrendered the tying run in the ninth, and Hunter Pence came through with a run-scoring single in the 13th to give visiting Philadelphia a victory that ended the Braves’ season.

Nationals 3, Marlins 1: At Miami, Washington’s Stephen Strasburg allowed one hit and struck out 10 in six scoreless innings and Florida bid its stadium goodbye with a loss.
