The Arizona Cardinals hoped to win over new fans by giving up a home game and playing in Mexico City. Instead, it's where their season came to an end.
MEXICO CITY – In 2005, the Arizona Cardinals played the 49ers at Estadio Azteca in the NFL’s first regular-season game outside the United States. Monday night, 17 years later, the Cardinals became the first team to see its regular season end outside the United States.Monday night’s 38-10 loss to the 49ers
The Cardinals could have overcome all this by playing better football, by being a good football team. They are not, as they proved by losing a fourth NFC West game in five tries. Only one more awaits: the 49ers in the final game of the season.The first half was entertaining, and it ended, 17-10, 49ers. For the Cardinals, it could have been better, and it could have been worse.
It was their last highlight of the game. The 49ers scored the next 24 points, 21 of them in the second half. McCoy is an ideal backup, but after Monday night it’s clear he’s no threat to Murray. There is no quarterback controversy, or controversia del mariscal de campo, as they probably don’t say in Spanish.
