Arizona Cardinals: F

Record: 3–14

Team MVP: Trey McBride, TE

The stud playmaker established himself as the best tight end in the game during a dominant fourth NFL season. He set an NFL record for most catches in a season for a tight end, and his 126 receptions are also the most in team history. Opposing defenses knew exactly where the ball was going most of the time and there wasn’t much they could do to contain McBride, who finished with 1,239 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.

Best moment: Woof. It’s hard to find a good moment for this team, but the Cardinals started 2–0 after defeating the Panthers in a game where they almost blew a 24-point advantage before prevailing 27–22. At the time, this team was healthy on both sides of the ball and had the potential of making some noise in the competitive NFC West. But Arizona lost the following week on a walk-off field goal against San Francisco and showed it wasn’t ready to make a leap in coach Jonathan Gannon’s third season. This team was never the same after starting 2–0, losing 14 of its final 15 games.


Worst moment: It was the Week 5 meltdown against the Titans. The Cardinals blew an 18-point lead to one of the worst teams in the league, losing 22–21. But the story of the game was Gannon shoving running back Emari Demercado multiple times on the sideline after Demarcado dropped the ball before crossing the end zone to spark the Titans’ rally. Gannon might have lost the locker room after losing his cool on the sideline.

Offseason outlook: Gannon was fired on Monday morning. So, a new coach will likely have to determine whether the Cardinals retain quarterback Kyler Murray, who never found a rhythm with Gannon and his coaching staff. The offense drastically improved under Jacoby Brissett, who started 12 games for the injured Murray. So don’t be surprised if Murray isn’t around next season.
