The late, legendary Jim Brown had big numbers vs. Cardinals
The NFL lost a legend this past week when Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown died at 87 years old. While Brown never played for the Arizona Cardinals (or the St. Louis Cardinals) in his career, the team did honor his death with a post on social media.
Rest In Peace to an absolute legend 🙏
