The Arizona Cardinals were brought back to reality by the Seattle Seahawks (44-22 in Week 10) and the San Francisco 49ers (41-22) after beating the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season.
The Cards are dead last in the NFC West division standings, seeing the other three teams compete for the title. Despite a positive 2-0 start to the season, they have been unable to maintain the pace.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon has received a lot of criticism for the team’s performances, and some think he may be coaching for his job right now.

“They want to be part of the solution as well,” he said. “They come up and tell me that, and that’s a good thing. I’d be lying to say it’s cheerful in there (the locker room) right now.”
The Cardinals could go through major changes in the offseason, starting with Kyler Murray leaving the team. Gannon could follow the quarterback if the team fails to make the playoffs again.
