It had been 26 long years since the Cardinals franchise had experienced playoff football. But thanks to the imaginative Don Coryell and an underrated defense, St. Louis surprised the so-called experts and made it to the postseason.
Now you can relive the Cardinals' memorable 1974 season with this guide that explores the entire year game by game, from the giddy heights of the 7-0 start to the ultimate playoff ouster at Minnesota, as told in the original newspaper stories.
With the likes of Jim Hart, Terry Metcalf and Mel Gray, everyone knew that the Cardinals could light up a scoreboard. But their defense was supposed to hold them back. So it came as a big surprise when St. Louis showed it could keep teams out of the end zone as well as it could reach paydirt itself, and it all added up to a joyous ride to the NFC East crown. There were many highlights along the way, including a pair of tough wins over the Redskins that ultimately decided the division race, an exhilerating triumph over the Cowboys in one of the greatest games in Cards history and a comeback victory on the season's final day over the Giants that sewed up the NFC East title.
All of the highs and lows from the exciting season are here. A full recap and box score from every game is included, so you can follow the exploits of Coryell's crew as it ascended to new heights and gave long-suffering Cardinals fans a newfound sense of pride.
As an added bonus, links to many video highlights are included to add more depth to the story of the 1974 Cardinals. Whether you are a die-hard Cardinals fan or an NFL history buff, you will enjoy this look back at the 1974 St. Louis Cardinals.
