The 2020 NFL season ended on an anti-climactic note for Kliff Kingsbury and the Arizona Cardinals. The NFC West franchise started their campaign on a strong note but failed to build on that as the season progressed. They missed out on a playoff spot, finishing 3rd in their division with an 8-8 record.

Under the leadership of the young and enigmatic Kliff Kingsbury, the Cardinals have slowly and steadily grown into a formidable force in the NFC West. They’ve taken their form to the next level and will look to maintain the momentum as we approach the second half of the season.

Next up for the Cardinals is a game against the Texans on Sunday, October 24, 2021. It will be interesting to see how the fans receive Watt in what promises to be a thrilling union.
