Cards Improved But Not Enough for Redskins Cowboys Title Hopes
The St. Louis Cardinals face long odds in the NFL East as Washington and Dallas loom. Coach Bob Hollway reshapes the offense trading Mac Arthur Lane for Danny Anderson and swapping Cid Edwards for Leon Burns while drafting Gary Cuozzo to back Jim Hart.
