Results I will never forget the emotions I experienced surrounding the wild Game 163 to end the 2009 season. First, there were the four must-win victories just to get the team to a one-game playoff.

When did Giving Tuesday become a thing? Back in my day, it used to be just Black Friday, and at some point, Cyber Monday came along. Now we’ve got Giving Tuesday? What’s next, Taking Wednesday?

Needless to say, the Cardinals’ offensive line has been a roller coaster this year. It has been well documented that both guard spots have issues.
