The Arizona Cardinals did the opposite of what everyone expected to in Week 15. All they needed to do was beat the one-win Detroit Lions and they would have clinched a playoff berth.
Instead, they made history, and it was in the wrong way.
In a 30-12 loss to the Lions, they accomplished an NFL first.
It was the first time in NFL history that a one-win team beat a 10-win team by double digits.
After the loss, the Cardinals look more like a team on the brink of a second straight late-season collapse than a team that should be gearing up for a postseason run.
You normally like to see your team make history. This would be one of those exceptions.
