If it seems like the Lions usually wilt in the Arizona heat, it’s because they do.
The Cardinals have defeated the Lions in seven of the last eight meetings and 12 of the last 16.
The Lions have not won in Arizona in 25 years, losing eight straight since 1993. That December day, Erik Kramer threw touchdown passes to Herman Moore, Willie Green and Rodney Holman and the Lions beat the Phoenix Cardinals 21-14, breaking a three-game losing streak and starting a push to the playoffs.
