The 1993 Phoenix Cardinals season marked the 74th season the team was in the National Football League, and their final as the Phoenix Cardinals (becoming the Arizona Cardinals the following season). The team improved upon their previous output of 4-12, winning seven games. Despite the improvement, the Cardinals failed to qualify to the playoffs for the eleventh straight season.
The Cards swept the Washington Redskins for the first time since 1974, but were snakebit by eight losses by seven points or fewer, five of those to playoff-bound clubs.

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix and/or season:
“And there’s a score of duchesses, surpassing womankind,
Or who have found a painter to make them so for pay
And smooth out stain and blemish with the elegance of his mind:
I knew a phoenix in my youth, so let them have their day.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
