The Chicago Cardinals season was their 14th in the National Football League. The team failed to improve on their previous year's record of 2âÂÂ6âÂÂ2, with only one victory and the worst record in the ten-team league. They failed to qualify for the first scheduled playoff, the 1933 NFL Championship Game.
This was the first season of ownership for attorney Charles Bidwill, who bought the team from Dr. David J. Jones for $50,000. The new head coach of the team was Paul Schissler, formerly head coach at Oregon State Agricultural College for nearly a decade.
