The Cardinals are a team that have weirdly had the Cowboys’ number.
Although the Arizona Cardinals have a young roster brimming with talented prospects, they have largely disappointed over the last few seasons. Head coach Jonathan Gannon has started his coaching career with a 12-22 record, but there is optimism that Gannon can guide the Cardinals out of a slump that has seen Arizona not win the NFC West since 2015. and not make the postseason since 2021. A large part of the issue has been the health of Kyler Murray, who has missed 18 out of 100 possible career starts. Yet, Murray may be turning a corner as he played in all 17 games in 2024.
With Murray healthy and receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. heading into his second NFL season, the Cardinals are shaping up to be better than their 8-9 mark a season ago. They also bolstered their roster by signing veterans Calais Campbell, Dalvin Tomlinson, and Josh Sweat, providing Arizona with a mix of youth and experience. That said, there are a few players that could soar in 2025 and give the Cowboys a challenge in their Week 9 meeting.
