1. No Fear in Prime Time

To win a Super Bowl, a team has to be able to win on the big stage in prime time. In 2015, there hasn’t been a team in the NFL better in prime time than the Arizona Cardinals.

The team had five prime time games and went a perfect 5-0 in those games. Three of those games came on Sunday Night Football, while one came on Monday Night Football and the other on Thursday Night Football.

For those that know the history of the Cardinals, they are a team that used to get embarrassed on the big stage and there would be long gaps before they were shown in prime time again.

This year, they have removed those demons and shown that they want the attention and the spotlight on them as they play in front of a national audience. Not only that, but they have stepped up and put together some of their biggest moments of the season with all eyes on them.

To get to the Super Bowl, the Cardinals are going to have everyone’s eyes on them in the playoffs. It’s the nature of the postseason in the NFL and it’s something the Cardinals are more than ready for.

The pressure of the spotlight can be too much for many teams, but the Cardinals, who once feared it, now cherish it.
