1948 Chicago Cardinals season

The Cardinals won the Western division on the final weekend at Wrigley Field over the cross-town Bears,[1] and appeared in the NFL championship game for the second consecutive year.

They led the NFL in scoring that year (32.9 [points-per-game]) and they produced what was probably the greatest four-week stretch of offense in pro football history.

"[9]The Cardinals had three players in the top six in rushing in 1948: halfbacks Charley Trippi (690 yards), and Elmer Angsman (638), and fullback/linebacker/placekicker Pat Harder (554).

The Cardinals' next appearance in an NFL championship game was sixty years later in Super Bowl XLIII in January 2009.

It was played at Philadelphia's Shibe Park on December 19 and the host Eagles won 7–0 in the snow.
