"Football Video Archive of 1989 Broncos at Cardinals"

Here is a video from our friends at the Football Video Archive that pits the Denver Broncos at the Phoenix Cardinals on December 16th, 1989.

Spoiler

The Denver Broncos trounced the Phoenix Cardinals 37-0 on December 16, 1989, in a one-sided Week 15 matchup. It was a dominant performance for the Broncos, who racked up 475 total yards compared to the Cardinals' measly 101.

Denver's offense put on a clinic, scoring touchdowns through the air and on the ground. John Elway completed 20 of 28 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns, while Bobby Humphrey rushed for 109 yards and another score. The Cardinals' defense struggled to contain the Broncos' attack, allowing Denver to march down the field at will.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals' offense sputtered throughout the game. They couldn't seem to move the ball against the Broncos' defense, only managing seven first downs and failing to reach the red zone all game. QB Jim McMahon completed just 14 of 25 passes for 79 yards and two interceptions.

Ultimately, the game was a mismatch, with the Broncos showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive dominance. It solidified Denver's playoff contention while burying the Cardinals' hopes of a winning season.

"Arizona Cardinals NFL Franchise History"

Football fans, huddle up! We're embarking on a thrilling journey through the rich tapestry of the Arizona Cardinals, a franchise boasting not just the oldest lineage in the National Football League, but also a story filled with resilience, fiery spirit, and moments etched in gridiron lore.
Our tale begins not in the sun-drenched Sonoran Desert, but in the bustling streets of Chicago in 1898. It was there, amidst the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and the hum of early industry, that the seed of the Cardinals was planted. Back then, they were known as the Morgan Athletic Club, a ragtag bunch of neighborhood lads with hearts full of grit and dreams of pigskin glory. Fast forward to 1920, and the Cardinals, adorned in their cardinal red, find themselves as charter members of the fledgling National Football League. They navigate the league's infancy, witnessing the birth of legends and the evolution of the game itself. Through the roaring twenties and the somber thirties, the Cardinals carve their niche, collecting their first NFL Championship in 1925 under the legendary Ernie Nevers...
