The Arizona Cardinals needed 12 unanswered points and a perfect half of football from their defense (allowed zero points on 25 plays) to get by the Detroit Lions 25-21 for their first victory of the 2013 season Sunday.

And needless to say, the players, the coaching staff and the front office were all rather pumped up upon returning to the locker room.

Thanks to exclusive footage provided by AZCardinals.com, fans can see just how Bruce Arians, Steve Keim and Michael Bidwill celebrated following the win.
