The moment is here! Wait, this really isn't much of a moment, but it is something that millions of people anticipate. The NFL released its regular season schedule and the Arizona Cardinals now know when exactly they will play their 16 games.
They open the season on the road against the St. Louis Rams and will have their home opener versus the Detroit Lions in Week 2.
They will be on national television only once, hosting the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7 for Thursday Night Football and they will close the season at home against the San Francisco 49ers.
They will have their bye Week 9, splitting their season perfectly in half.
