History of Arizona Cardinals vs. Washington Commanders

The Arizona Cardinals are two days away from their Week 1 regular season opener where they travel to FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland to take on the Washington Commanders.

Previously the Boston Braves (1932), Boston Redskins (1933-35), Washington Redskins (1933-2020) and Washington Football Team (2021), they have dominated their matchups with the Cardinals with a series lead of 76-47-2.

This will be the first time the Cardinals play the “Commanders” since their name change last year. Washington is turning over a new leaf as they moved on from the heavily scrutinized former owner Dan Snyder for Josh Harris and released veteran Carson Wentz in favor of the promising second-year quarterback Sam Howell as their starter.
