Arizona Cardinals reflect on 1959 season as opener approaches

With 59 days remaining until their 2026 opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 13, the Arizona Cardinals are looking back at their 1959 season. That year marked the last for the team in Chicago, where they recorded a dismal 2-10 record. The Cardinals managed to score 45 or more points in both victories but fell short with low scores in defeats, including four games with seven or fewer points. Notable players from that season included Pro Bowlers John David Crow, Jerry Norton, Frank Fuller, and Ken Panfil. Crow led the team in scrimmage yards, while safety Billy Stacy topped the league in punt returns.
