2001 Arizona Cardinals season


The 2001 Arizona Cardinals season was the franchise’s 82nd year with the National Football League and the 14th season in Arizona. It was their final season in the NFC East division before moving to their current division, the NFC West.
Due to being the only team in the league with a Week 1 bye, the Cardinals were the final team to play their season opener, which was pushed back even further in wake of the September 11 attacks. The 2001 Cardinals were also the most recent team in NFL history to have a Week 1 bye until the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins in 2017 due to Hurricane Irma.
The 2001 season was Pat Tillman’s final season as he left the NFL to join the U.S. Army following the season.
