The Packers vs. Cardinals rivalry is actually one of the oldest rivalries in sports. The series launched on November 20, 1921, when the Packers and Chicago Cardinals tied, 3-3. They racked up a lot of meetings when the teams played two or more times in a season 20 different years between 1926 and 1949. The series is noted for streaks, with the Packers winning 15 straight between 1937 and 1946, followed by the Cardinals winning seven straight through 1949. Green Bay has won 15 of the last 20 regular-season games (with one tie).

The Ticket Situation
ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) - As the Packers playoff chances have been dropping, so have ticket prices. On the second-hand ticket market, it's basically half-priced seats for this Sunday's Packers game versus the Arizona Cardinals.
This week, about 40 people per day have called Ticket King in Ashwaubenon to see if they could sell them their Packers tickets. Unfortunately for them, Ticket King isn't buying. “We usually buy up until the day of the game, but with how many tickets we have and not a lot of demand, that is kind of where we are at,” said Travis Loftus, the manager at Ticket King.
Face value tickets at Lambeau Field range between $109 and $136. King tells FOX 11 for this Sunday's game, Ticket King is selling tickets between $49 and $150. “It's just kind of a perfect storm: the Packers how they are performing lately, a December game which it's usually cold, snow, or rain, and then the opponent isn't a big draw either.”.
Ticket prices for the team's two other December home games are also below face value. Ticket King has seats for the Falcons game starting at $54 and the Lions at $67.
