Season highlights
I don't have the time at the moment, but if someone wanted to, they could add some of the following details for this very exciting season:

The Cards have eight games went down to the last minute, seven of these are Cardinal victories (see [ http://www.hulu.com/watch/151811/team-highlights-st-louis-cardinals]) The last-minute victories I could find have a *


 * Week 1 vs. Atlanta, Cards win with field goal with 0:03 left won (Jim Bakken kicker)*


 * Week 2 vs. Dallas (OT) (7 total TDs), Cards lost in overtime on interception*


 * Week 3: Beat Giants up at first, then Giants come back in fourth before Cards hold them off.*


 * Week 4: Fell behind to Washington three times, then came back all three times. Broke it open in the 3rd quarter, Cards were 2-2 after four games


 * Week 5: Philadelphia. Cards have 278 team rushing yards (Cards team record). Started 6-game winning streak.


 * Week 6: NY Giants, Mel Gray had two long TDs. Defense picked off three passes. STL intercepted last pass to save game.*


 * Week 7. New England, INT by Pete Barnes on last play of the game.*


 * Week 8. Eagles, down 23-7, but Jim Hart brought team back. Scored 17 unanswered to win by 1 point. 66-yard drive at the end of the game. Cards FG with 0:03 left to win.*


 * Week 9: Redskins. (OT) Cards down 14-3 late in the 3rd quarter, Hart and Mel Grey came back. With :25 left, 4th down, a TD pass fell incomplete. At first, the officials ruled it incomplete, then conferred and changed the ruling to complete, sending the game to overtime at 17-17. Baaken kicks winning FG in overtime. (Very controversial play.)*
