The Arizona Cardinals kicked off their 2013 season with a heart-breaking 27-24 loss on the road to the St. Louis Rams. They had an 11-point lead entering the fourth quarter and lost on a 48-yard field goal with less than a minute to go.
After the game, here is what the players tweeted to their fans.
