Arizona opened the season in Louisiana and played a nail-biter, with the game coming down to the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Saints were down only one score and had the opportunity to tie it in a late-game surge.
However, New Orleans couldn’t score on its final drive as Arizona took the victory to start the year 1-0.

With a gritty win to start the year, the Cardinals have set the tone for what they hope will be a strong year for the team.
