Cardinals 2019 countdown: 87 days until season opener

Now there are 87 days remaining until the Arizona Cardinals open their 2019 season against the Detroit Lions at home. What notable Cardinals stats are there for the No. 87?

Kicker Jim Bakken scored 87 points in 1971 with 24 extra points and 21 made field goals.

Running back Steve Jones, who played for the Cardinals from 1974-1978, had 87 receptions in his time with the Cardinals.

Quarterback Charley Johnson, who played for the Cardinals from 1961-1969, appeared in 87 games in that time period.

Four-time Pro Bowl fullback Ron Wolfley, now a morning radio host and the radio color analyst for the team, rushed for a career-high 87 yards in 1987.

We will have more stats every day as we continue counting down to the start of the regular season.
