Coach Kliff Kingsbury and his Arizona Cardinals outfit endured a disappointing end to their 2020 NFL campaign. With Kyler Murray as their starter, the Cardinals finished 3rd in the NFC West with an 8-8 record. They made a few alterations to their roster in the summer. The biggest signing was that of former Houston Texans defensive end, JJ Watt.

At 32, Watt is one of the most experienced players in his position. He will serve as the missing piece of the puzzle in Phoenix. The Cardinals started their current campaign with 2 consecutive wins in 2021.

JJ Watt and Co. put in a strong display against Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Their efforts saw them walk away with the narrowest of wins (33-34). Ultimately, it was Vikings kicker Greg Joseph who missed the chance to win the game after he battered his final field goal effort.

But QB Kyler Murray, WR DeAndre Hopkins along with a JJ Watt-led defense have been dominant over the last 2 weeks. This is exactly why the latter put up a tweet featuring an Arizona Cardinals fan.

He spoke about how the people in and around Phoenix have treated him like ‘one of their own’. There is no doubt that the former Texans man is eager to win a Lombardi before he calls time on what has been a distinguished career. Maybe Arizona is the right place for him to achieve that goal?
