The Arizona Cardinals have maintained a perfect record when reaching the goal line this season, achieving a touchdown in all 16 first-and-goal situations. This consistency has been a key factor in their current four-game winning streak. As they prepare for a seven-game playoff push, the Cardinals aim to extend this streak.

This achievement is notable as it marks the longest such streak for the team since tracking began in 2000. Only two other teams have had longer streaks: the 2020 Buccaneers with 22 consecutive goal-to-go touchdowns and the 2018 Panthers with 18.

The Cardinals' success can be attributed to players like James Conner, who has scored five touchdowns in these scenarios, and Kyler Murray, whose improvisational skills have contributed to three of his seven touchdown passes during goal-to-go situations.

Despite their efficiency near the goal line, Arizona has had fewer opportunities compared to other teams. Before their bye week, 21 teams had more chances than Arizona's 16. Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, and San Francisco each had 38 opportunities.

The Cardinals continue to seek greater consistency throughout games but remain confident in their ability to execute when it matters most.
