NFL team season
The 2002 Arizona Cardinals seasonNational 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 .
