The Arizona Cardinals didn’t have as many big plays in 2016 as 2015 but still entertained us greatly

The season ended with a disappointing result for the Arizona Cardinals and its fans.  However the team still had some very exciting plays spread throughout the season.

The Cardinals gave us big plays in all three phases of the game.  Yes, even the special teams, despite their struggles the season.

The best part of this Cardinals season was the players never gave up.  The Cardinals fought to the end in every game this season.  We may have not agreed with every call made but they tried.

Even in games where the Cardinals started slow, such as the New England, Buffalo, Carolina, and first San Francisco game, the Cardinals kept working at it.  Sure, they lost three of those four games but they still made it exciting.

We looked at the top plays mid-way through the season and there some of those that stood the rest of the season as the top plays of the entire season.  They were that good.

Now it is time to look at the plays we could still be talking about for months to come.  We’ll talk about them at least until next season when we get a new batch of them.
