Pro Bowl special teamer Justin Bethel (31) is congratulated by teammates after he downed a punt at the 1-yard line in a Week 14 win over the St. Louis Rams.
The Cardinals won 10 games in 2013 for only the second time since the team moved to Arizona in 1988. It was a season that started with a bump – the Cards blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead in the opener at St. Louis – and ended with a bang – seven wins in the final nine games.
