22 days till Arizona Cardinals' opener: Remembering the 1922 season

With 22 days remaining before the Arizona Cardinals' regular-season opener on September 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, the team reflects on its inaugural 1922 season. That year, the Cardinals compiled an 8-3 record, beginning their campaign with a perfect 6-0 start before losing three of their final five games. Of their eight victories, five were achieved through shutouts.

However, the team struggled to score, averaging just 8.7 points per game, which placed them eighth in the 18-team league at that time, while conceding an average of 4.5 points, ranking them fifth. Arnie Horween emerged as a standout player, scoring four touchdowns during the season. Veteran quarterback Paddy Driscoll, who also served as the team's coach, contributed two touchdown receptions and a touchdown pass, alongside eight field goals and four extra points.
