With a little luck, the Arizona Cardinals would have had a much better 2025 season.
Unfortunately, very little went the team’s way last year and, after starting 2-0, they finished 3-14, ending the year on a torturous nine-game losing streak.
Yet, what that tawdry record doesn’t indicate is that a whopping games were lost by seven points or less.
Had they just gotten the job done, Kyler Murray and head coach Jonathan Gannon may have stuck around.
Sadly, that wasn’t in the…ummm…cards.
Instead, this year, Mike LaFleur inherits head coaching duties and Jacoby Brissett — who started 14 games in ’25 and went 1-11 — returns.
To add insult to injury, the squad has the third-toughest schedule of any team in the NFL.
Notable opponents dropping into Glendale, Ariz.’s State Farm Stadium this year include Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions (Oct. 11), Bo Nix’s Denver Broncos (Oct. 25), Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams (Nov. 15), Jalen Hurts’ Philadelphia Eagles (Dec. 6) and Brock Purdy’s San Francisco 49ers on Jan. 9 or 10 in the final game of the regular season.
Plus, Sam Darnold’s defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be swinging in too on Sunday, Sept. 20 aka the Cards’ home opener.
Thankfully, Brissett and the Cardinals got a bit of insurance in standout rookie running back Jeremiyah Love, as well as draft picks Chase Bisontis, Carson Beck and Kaleb Proctor.
Offseason acquisitions Devin Duvernay, Isaac Seumalo, Tyler Allgeier, Kendrick Bourne and quarterback insurance Gardner Minshew join them.
Franchise tight end Trey McBride, 2025 star signee Josh Sweat, starting wideout Michael Wilson, elite safety Budda Baker and offensive line anchor Paris Johnson Jr. return, too.
