The Arizona Cardinals finished the 2024-2025 NFL season with an 8-9 record. They were ranked third in the NFC West division and did not make it to the playoffs. In fact, the Cardinals haven’t been to the playoffs in the last three seasons. While the team showed a lot of improvement from their disappointing 2022 and 2023 campaigns, where they went 4-13 in both seasons respectively, they are still not a playoff-bound team and are far from being a championship-caliber franchise.<\/p>
With their 8-9 record, the Cardinals doubled their win total from the previous season. They showed some improvement under second-year head coach Jonathan Gannon and GM Monti Ossenfort. The team started decent with a 6-4 record and were even sitting at the top of their division for some time with a four-game win streak. However, their three-straight losses after the Bye Week hurt their chances of getting into the playoffs.<\/p>
The Cardinals’ quarterback, Kyler Murray, had a great season and played all 17 games after only playing 8 games in 2023 due to a torn ACL injury he suffered. He threw for 3851 passing yards and 21 touchdowns and significantly contributed to his team’s success. Their rookie receiver Marvin Harrison also displayed a lot of potential, scoring 8 touchdowns, 885 receiving yards, and 62 receptions.<\/p>
Even though the Cardinals secured a losing record for the third consecutive season, the improvement in their record shows that they are headed in the right direction and should continue to build on what they achieved last season.<\/p>
Today, we look at the Cardinals’ schedule for the 2025 regular season; Who will they play at home and who will the Cardinals battle on the road? Let’s find out.<\/p>
