1975 Cardinals vs Giants (NFL)

1975 Cards 1975 Giants

St. Louis 31
New York  28



Cards nearly blow 24 point lead as Morton ditched the running game and started throwing the ball all over the field and score19 21 fourth quarter points. They recovered two onsides kick at advance all the down to the Cardinal 28 near the end of the game. With a better kicker, maybe they play it safe and set up the tying foeld goal, but they their kicker is really shaky, so they tried to get closer only to see Morton get sacked for a 10 yard loss. On the following play, Morton completed pass to the Cardinal 22, but time expired.

Otis and Metcalf were outstanding for the Cards while Hart was very efficient.
