NFL team season
The 2000 season was the Arizona Cardinals ' 81st season in the National Football League (NFL), their 102nd overall and their 13th in Arizona . The Cardinals ranked 24th in the NFL in total offense and 30th in total defense.[2] [2]
The Cardinals surrendered 443 points in 2000, the second-worst in the NFL that season, and second-worst in franchise history.[3] [4]
Two of the Cardinals' three victories came by one point each, and they were 0–8 on the road. Following the most lopsided of those eight road losses, 48–7 at Dallas in week eight, coach Vince Tobin was fired, ending his tenure in the desert after 4½ seasons with a 29–44 record. Defensive coordinator Dave McGinnis was named interim coach, and he held the job through the end of the 2003 season . The 3–13 mark would be matched in 2018 .
The Cardinals suffered through their poorest season since the 1970 AFL–NFL merger , eclipsing the 4–12 marks of 1991 , 1992 , 1995 and 1997 . The Cardinals also went 4–9–1 in 1971 , 1972 and 1973 , and 4–11–1 in 1986 , and would suffer through another 4–12 campaign in 2003 .
