They are now members of the National Football Conference’s (NFC) Western Division in the National Football League (NFL).
The Cardinals were formed in 1898 and are the country’s oldest continually operating professional American football club.
Where could the Arizona Cardinals play their 1st playoff game in 6 years?
The Cardinals have done tremendously well this season hence fans should expect a rollercoaster ride from now onwards.
They are most likely to finish on the road as the NFC’s 5th seed, which goes to the non-division champion with the best record.
If the Los Angeles Rams defeat the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, the Cardinals will receive the #5 seed. Los Angeles would clinch the NFC West championship.
If the Cardinals are the #5 seed, they would most likely make their second trip to Arlington, Texas, in three weeks to face the Dallas Cowboys, who would be the NFC’s #4 seed.
A Twitter user created a chart depicting all of the NFC seeding situations, and the Cardinals ended up as the #5 seed in 7 of the 9 scenarios. The Cardinals will go to Texas in 5 of the 7 situations.
If the Cardinals lose to the Seattle Seahawks, the Rams lose to San Francisco, Tampa Bay defeats Carolina, and Dallas beats Philadelphia this weekend, the Cardinals may be the #5 seed and face the Rams at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. In this scenario, the Rams would be the fourth seed.
The NFL’s ‘Super Wild Card Weekend’ will take place from January 15 to17, spreading the six Wild Card playoff games over three days.
