Arizona Cardinals: 5 best wins over the Giants since 1988
By Sion Fawkes
3 - Arizona Cardinals upend a strong Giants team
The Arizona Cardinals had a strong team in 2009, but so did the Giants, and their showdown on October 25th, 2009 did not disappoint. New York led the Redbirds 14-10 going into the half, but the Cards stormed back in the third quarter to take a 24-14 lead.
The Giants tacked on a field goal in the fourth, but they had no time to put together a game-tying drive. Arizona took this one 24-17, and they improved to 4-2 on the year while the Giants dropped to 5-2.
2 - Arizona bounces back from a blowout loss
The Cardinals fell back to Earth in 1999, and in Week 4 of that season, the Dallas Cowboys avenged their playoff loss in a 35-7 blowout. It was clear the Cards weren’t returning to the postseason, but it also didn’t mean their fans had no reason to watch.
The Cardinals Week 5 matchup wasn’t an exciting game by any means, unless you love defensive struggles. Jake Plummer rushed for a touchdown and threw for another, putting the Cards up 14-0 by halftime. And that would be all they needed in this one, as the Giants didn’t score until 10:13 left in the fourth quarter, when Brad Daluiso put up a field goal to help New York avoid the shutout.
