2 championships

The Cardinals have never won a Super Bowl. They did, though, win two NFL championships before they started playing Super Bowl. They claim the 1925 championship, which some believe has cursed the team, and won the 1947 NFL championship.

2 championship losses

The Cardinals lost the NFL championship to the Eagles in 1948, a year after they won it.

Then they lost the Super Bowl to the Steelers after the 2008 season.

2 coaches who lasted six seasons

Jim Hanifan and Ken Whisenhunt are the only two head coaches to make it through six seasons before getting fired.
