The Arizona Cardinals, the oldest team in the National Football League (NFL), have a history marked by a few significant achievements. As the Racine Cardinals, they won their first NFL championship in 1925. In 1947, as the Chicago Cardinals, they won another NFL championship, led by their “Million-Dollar Backfield.” After relocating to Arizona, the team saw success in 1998, with their first playoff victory in 51 years. In 2008 quarterback Kurt Warner led the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl appearance, where they were narrowly defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team also won 13 games in 2015, the highest total in the franchise’s history.
