The Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers play this weekend at State Farm Stadium. They don’t face each other often, as they are in different conferences.
The Cardinals haven’t had much success against the Steelers in recent years. In the all-time series, Pittsburgh leads 34-23-3.
Arizona has not gotten a win since 2007.
Of course, they have only faced the Steelers twice in the regular season since then — in 2011 and 2015.
The last time the two teams met, the Steelers won 25-13. Like the game this weekend, Pittsburgh was without starting QB Ben Roethlisberger. Michael Vick started the game and got injured. Landry Jones came in and threw two touchdown passes.
The last time the Cardinals won was in 2007, when Ken Whisenhunt was in his first year as head coach after leaving the Steelers as offensive coordinator. The Cardinals defeated the Steelers 21-14. Kurt Warner threw a touchdown pass to Jerheme Urban and Steve Breaston had a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Of course, the most famous matchup between the two teams was the Super Bowl. The Steelers won that game 27-23 on a Santonio Holmes touchdown catch.
