The 2012 NFL schedule has been released, and that means we know exactly what the Arizona Cardinals docket of games looks like.

The Cardinals will open their campaign Sunday, September 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. This game marks only the fifth time since the team relocated to the Valley in 1988 that they've opened their schedule at home.

"I'm excited that we've got a Monday Night game," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Tuesday. "It's always a little bit difficult as far as the short week afterwards and preparing for it, but you like to play on the national stage like that."

Three of the first four games are at home, and the Cardinals don't play more than two games in a row on the road.
