2002 Arizona Cardinals season

NFL team season August 2023 March 2026 Arizona Cardinals 2002 5–11 4th NFC West Dave McGinnis Bill Bidwill Sun Devil Stadium Did not qualify None Cardinals seasons The 2002 Arizona Cardinals season was the franchise’s 83rd year with the National Football League (NFL), 15th season in Arizona and the second full season under head coach Dave McGinnis. It was Jake Plummer’s final season with the Cardinals as he went to the Denver Broncos in the 2003 off-season. This was the Cardinals' first season in the NFC West. The realignment put the team in the same division as the Rams, which at the time played in the Cardinals' former home of St. Louis. The Cardinals thus played one game in their former city every year from this season until 2015, after which the Rams returned to the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
