The Arizona Cardinals are staring down a franchise-worst nine straight home losses today against the Lions, and guess who kicked off this historic nightmare? Our very own Seattle Seahawks. If they drop this game, it won’t just be another tally in the loss column, it’ll be a brand new, unwanted piece of history for a franchise that’s been around forever.
A Nasty Piece of History on the Line
This isn’t just a bad season for the Cardinals, this is about avoiding a truly awful first. Across all their identities, from the Racine Cardinals to Chicago, St. Louis, Phoenix, and now Arizona, they have never, not once, lost nine consecutive home games. Think about that for a second. They’ve flirted with this level of futility before, hitting eight straight home losses three different times: once from 1942 through 1945 (back at Comiskey Park), again in 1958 (also at Comiskey Park), and then more recently from 2021-22 in their current stadium. Their last taste of a home victory was way back on September 14, 2025, a 27-22 win over the Panthers. That feels like ancient history now, doesn’t it?
Remember When the Hawks Kicked This Off?
So, how did this whole mess begin for them? The current brutal streak officially started on Thursday, September 25, 2025, with a tough loss right there in their own building. And who was standing on the other side, setting this whole historic collapse in motion? You guessed it: our Seattle Seahawks. We literally started the countdown to what could be the worst home losing streak in Cardinals franchise history.
Today, the Cardinals face the Lions, desperate to avoid making that nine straight and writing an embarrassing new chapter. But no matter what happens, Seattle fans can always remember we helped light the fuse on this wild piece of franchise history. Go Hawks!
