The Arizona Cardinals return home Sunday to face the Washington Redskins

The Arizona Cardinals absolute last chance to remain in the NFL playoff hunt takes place on Sunday as they host the current NFC six-seed in the playoff race, the Washington Redskins.

It will be the first time the two teams have played since the Skins came to the desert two years ago and lost 30-20.  However the Skins won the previous eight meetings between the two teams. This is just the second time the Redskins will have played the Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium.

What: Arizona Cardinals vs Washington Redskins

When: Sunday December 4th 2:25 p.m.

Where: University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ

TV: FOX 10 (Dick Stockton, Chris Spielman)

Radio: Arizona Sports 98.7 FM (Dave Pasch, Ron Wolfley); Sirius/XM 226, Internet 800 (Cardinals feed), Sirius/XM 229, Internet 831 (Redskins feed)

With just five games left and two games behind the Redskins in the standings, a loss should eliminate any playoff talk that still remains for the Cardinals.  A win, it is still at least part of the discussion for another week.

Most people believe the Cardinals realistic chances when by the wayside after losses the past two weeks to the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons.  A lot can still happen in this unpredicable year however.
