Portsmouth (POR) Spartans. The Arizona
Cardinals were located in Chicago from
1920-59 and in St. Louis from 1960-87
before moving to Phoenix, Ariz., in 1988.
The team became the Arizona Cardinals

The Chicago Cardinals and Pittsburgh
Steelers merged for the 1944 season as a
wartime emergency measure.
