The 1929 Chicago Cardinals season was their tenth in the league.
The team improved on their previous output of 1–5, winning six games[1] and finishing fourth in the league.
The Cardinals-Steam Roller game was the first night game in NFL history, which the Cardinals won 16–0, on two touchdowns, an extra point and a field goal by Ernie Nevers.
[2] Nevers also scored 40 points, the most in a game by a player in NFL history, in a 40–6 victory against the Bears.
[3] Nevers' six rushing touchdowns in that game is an NFL record as of 2021, which was tied by New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara in a 2020 Christmas Day game.
