Cardinals thank fans for support after NFC Championship loss to Panthers

The Arizona Cardinals suffered a disappointing 49-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship, and the loss put an end to the 2015 season in a sobering way.

Several Cardinals players went to Twitter to express their disappointment in their performance. Receiver Larry Fitzgerald, linebacker Kevin Minter and safety Rashad Johnson thanked Arizona fans for their support during the record-breaking regular season that helped the Cardinals reach the NFC title game.

Cardinal nation we are terribly sorry about the bitter defeat we suffered this evening!!
