Overview: The Cardinals went 4-13 last
season under rookie coach Jonathan
Gannon, but the bar has been set a bit
higher this year with a win total of 7.
Reasons for optimism include quarterback Kyler Murray’s return to health
after starting only eight games last
season, and the arrival of rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. Look for the
Cardinals to improve this season, just
not enough.
