The 1984 St. Louis Cardinals season was the team's 65th year with the National Football League and the 25th season in St. Louis. Despite finishing with the same 9–7 record as their division rivals Dallas and New York, the Giants made the playoffs based upon the best head-to-head record among the three teams.[note 1]

Notes

  1. [N 1]
    (Giants: 3–1; Cardinals 2–2; Cowboys 1–3). The Cardinals had an opportunity to win the NFC East if they had beaten the Washington Redskins in their final game of the year, but a Neil O' Donahue field goal attempt at the end of the game was off target when a successful kick would have won the game and sent St. Louis to the playoffs.
