Suns Out Cardinals In!
A 33-point loss in Game 7?
The Valley is not devastated. We are disgusted. We are humiliated. We just witnessed one of the greatest collapses in the history of the NBA.
Gifted with the greatest stage in basketball, the Suns trailed by 30 points at halftime. That is a record for any Game 7 in basketball history. And then it got worse.
The Cardinals, thanks to a loaded list of opponents this season, are going to live in primetime in 2022.
Four times the team will appear in primetime games, all against notable opposition, the most high-profile a "Sunday Night Football" game on NBC Christmas night against the Buccaneers and Tom Brady.
The Cardinals will also host the Saints on Amazon Prime's "Thursday Night Football" on Oct. 20 and host the New England Patriots on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" on Dec. 12. That is in addition to the previously announced Monday night game in Mexico against the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 21.
The four primetime appearances are the most the Cardinals have had since 2016, when the Cardinals also had four: two games on Sunday night (loss to the Patriots, tie with Seahawks), a Monday night (win over the Jets) and a Thursday night (win at San Francisco.)
