The Arizona Cardinals had a season filled with memorable special teams plays in 2024. Here is a recap of their top 10 moments:

1. DeeJay Dallas made an impressive debut by returning a kickoff for a 96-yard touchdown against the Bills. "Dallas' touchdown was historic," as he became the first player to achieve this feat under the new format.

2. Chad Ryland hit a career-long 58-yard field goal to push the Cardinals into overtime against the Panthers, although they eventually lost. "It was another clutch moment from Ryland throughout the 2024 campaign."

3. In a game against the 49ers, DeeJay Dallas executed a fake punt play with a direct snap, rushing for 22 yards, aided by Elijah Higgins' block.

4. Greg Dortch made a strategic play during a game in Miami by batting the ball into Aaron Brewer's arms at the Miami 5-yard line.

5. Chad Ryland kicked an impressive 57-yarder in Miami, which at that time was his career-long until he surpassed it later in the same game.

6. Joey Blount demonstrated precision by pinning the Bears at their own one-yard line after tracking down Blake Gillikin's punt.

7. Ryland continued his streak of crucial kicks with back-to-back game-winners, including one against Miami from 34 yards out.

8. On "Monday Night Football," Ryland sealed victory over L.A. with a clean kick from 32 yards, marking his third game-winning field goal in October.

9. Blount again showed skill by downing Gillikin's punt at the Chargers' one-yard line, forcing them to start deep in their territory.

10. Veteran kicker Matt Prater delivered yet another long field goal against the Rams before an injury sidelined him for the rest of the season.

These plays highlight significant contributions from key players like Dallas and Ryland and underscore moments that defined parts of Arizona's season.
