The 1975 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 56th year with the National Football League and the 16th season in St. Louis. The club scored 356 points while the defence gave up 276 points. The club appeared in the playoffs for the second consecutive year, by winning the NFC East with a record of eleven wins and three losses. They were not again to appear in the playoffs during a full NFL season until 1998, by which time they had left St. Louis.
The team was nicknamed the Cardiac Cards, because eight of their games were decided in the final minute of play; the Cardinals went 7-1 in these games.

With lots of toys and things to eat,
He is a naughty child, I’m sure—
Or else his dear Papa is poor.”
