The 5: Best prime time games in Arizona Cardinals’ UofP Stadium history

Apr 22, 2015, 1:09 AM | Updated: 2:25 am

It would not be entirely accurate to say the Arizona Cardinals are no stranger to prime time games.

While they have made multiple appearances on national TV over the last handful of years, for the longest time they were only granted the league-mandated one.

Well, times are a changin’, and for the first time in franchise history the Cardinals will play on Sunday night, Monday night and Thursday night for the second consecutive season in 2015.

On the docket is a Monday night tilt with Baltimore in Week 7, a Sunday night affair at Seattle in Week 10, and a Thursday night matchup with Minnesota in Week 14.

With two of the three games set to take place at University of Phoenix Stadium, we figured it’d be worth remembering some of the best prime time games the Cardinals have ever hosted. So, here are the top five.
