Cardinals 2019 countdown: 91 days until Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals are 91 days (13 weeks) from their season opener against the Detroit Lions. With 91 days remaining in our countdown, we focus on a statistic for the No. 91.

Today’s stat for the No. 91 is another receiving total for a season.

It was in 1987, the team’s final season in St. Louis before moving to Arizona. Receiver J.T. Smith had a big season, catching 91 passes from quarterback Neil Lomax, good for 1,117 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards.

It is the 14th-best season in team history for catches in a season. However, at the time, it set a team record.

Cardinals fans in Arizona missed out. Smith was 33 by the time he played in Arizona and retired in 1990.

That’s the stat for No. 91. Be back tomorrow for No. 90.
