One of the most fascinating aspects of the Arizona Cardinals move to the NFC West early in the 2000’s is how even they have been with the rest of the NFC West.
We covered how the Los Angeles Rams have owned things since Sean McVay showed up on the scene, and we figured out that during the Seattle Seahawks’ heyday the Cardinals and Seahawks were actually fairly close. It was just that the Seahawks always won big while most of the Cardinals’ games were tight.
Since 2002 when the Cardinals moved to a newly aligned NFC West, the Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers have played 40 times.
