The 2008 Arizona Cardinals squad that represented the NFC in Super Bowl XLIII was fueled by an outstanding passing attack.

When the 9-7 Arizona Cardinals battled their way to a Super Bowl appearance back in 2008, the unexpected success was largely fueled by one aspect of the team.

The Cards’ defense certainly couldn’t take the credit for that impressive accomplishment. Arizona defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast’s unit yielded an alarming 426 points to opposing offenses. Only four clubs in the NFL gave up more during the course of that season.
