"In a battle between two of the most tortured fanbases the NFC has ever produced, the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals have historically just about shared the spoils in their respective histories head to head, with the Cards edging out a narrow 18-16 lead. The former St. Louis, turned Phoenix, turned Arizona Cardinals do not have a great history of success in the NFL, but they sure were good at beating the Falcons, after Atlanta's inception into the NFL world in the 1960s."
"dropping them to below .500, just ahead of their bye, in Week 10 of the 2023 season when they traveled to face a 1-8 Cardinals team whose season was already lost, but who were finally getting Kyler Murray back from a torn ACL. It didn't take Murray too long to find his footing against Atlanta's inept defense as he put together three consecutive scoring drives - including one he capped off himself with a rushing touchdown - following an initial three and out."
The Arizona Cardinals lead the head-to-head series against the Atlanta Falcons 18-16. The Cardinals dominated early meetings while the Falcons managed sporadic successes, achieving more consistent winning after 1999 and compiling a 10-5 edge in that span. Arizona won the notable 2008 Wild Card game behind Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald, advancing to the Super Bowl. In Week 10 of 2023 Atlanta entered below .500 and faced a 1-8 Cardinals squad that regained Kyler Murray. Murray quickly produced consecutive scoring drives, while Atlanta reached halftime with drives finished by Bijan Robinson and a Scottie Miller touchdown connection to Taylor Heinicke.
