NBC Sunday Night Game Opener Notes

When last seen on NBC, with Al Michaels presiding and Cris Collinsworth never being quiet, the Arizona Cardinals overcame an Aaron Rodgers desperation pass tying touchdown and prevailed vs G.B. (Packers) in a Saturday night division round game, the first in NBC history.

The next time on NBC, at least in the “reg,” the Cardinals will face the New England Patriots, like them a title game loser, last season.

Unlike the Patriots, who have won 4 Super Bowls, the Cardinals have gone longer sans an NFL title than any other franchise, last winning one as the Chicago based Cardinals in 1947.
