History of the Cardinals

The Phoenix Cardinals are one of the oldest teams in the National Football League (NFL). Founded in 1920, they were originally known as the Racine Cardinals and then later changed their name to become part of a larger organization. The team has had many ups and downs over its history, but it continues to be an important part of professional football today.

In 1988, after years away from Arizona, owner Bill Bidwill moved his franchise back home to Phoenix. This move marked a new era for the team that was now nicknamed “the Big Red” by fans due to their signature red uniforms with white accents. During this period they made several playoff appearances including two NFC Championship games under head coach Dennis Green in 1998 and 2008 respectively before eventually being eliminated both times from Super Bowl contention by Brett Favre's Green Bay Packers squad each time around.

Since moving back home however there have been some difficult times for this storied franchise which include only four winning seasons since 2004 along with three different head coaches during that span as well (Ken Whisenhunt 2007-2012; Bruce Arians 2013-2017; Steve Wilks 2018). Despite these struggles though, ownership remains committed to building a championship-caliber roster through free agency acquisitions such as Chandler Jones, Patrick Peterson, David Johnson & Larry Fitzgerald who all remain key contributors on offense/defense even today.

Overall while there may be bumps along the way, The Phoenix Cardinal's story is still very much alive & kicking within NFL circles thanks largely to due diligence displayed by ownership towards ensuring quality personnel decisions are made year after year regardless of wins or losses come out on top at season’s end or not!
