33 Days to Kickoff: Remembering the Cardinals' 1933 Season

As the Arizona Cardinals approach their regular-season opener, a historical glance revisits their 1933 campaign. That season proved to be a difficult one for the franchise, as they compiled a dismal 1-9-1 record, marking them as the league's worst performers. Their struggles were evident in their scoring, with only one game seeing them achieve over 10 points, and suffering four shutouts.

Individual statistics from 1933 reveal Joe Lillard as a key figure. He led the team in passing with 269 yards, though this included 16 interceptions. Lillard also topped the rushing charts with 373 yards. He was responsible for four of the team's six touchdowns that season, including a punt return. The team's leading receiver was Hal Moe, with seven receptions for 95 yards and two touchdowns.
