The 1923 Chicago Cardinals season was their fourth in the National Football League (NFL). The team played all but one of their games at home during the 1923 season, with the sole exception a game across town against the Chicago Bears. The Cards finished with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses for the year, good for sixth place in the 20-team league.
The Cardinals moved midseason from their traditional Normal Park venue to the more spacious confines of Comiskey Park during the 1923 season, firmly establishing themselves as the team of Southside Chicago.
Schedule
On November 25 against Racine, the Cardinals became the only team in NFL history to score exactly 4 points in a game.
