Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals (4-7) have lost three of their past four games, been hit by myriad of injuries and are now dealing with the fallout of losing assistant coach Sean Kugler, who was fired after an alleged incident in Mexico City the night before the team’s embarrassing 38-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

There are many legitimate reasons for Arizona's problems, particularly on offense. The biggest one is injuries: starting quarterback Kyler Murray missed his second straight game with a sore hamstring, pushing backup Colt McCoy into action again.

Jimmy Garoppolo threw four touchdown passes, including two each to Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle, and the San Francisco 49ers won their third straight game by blowing past the Arizona Cardinals in Mexico City.

The 49ers and Cardinals meet in Mexico City on Monday night in a showdown between division rivals.

Backup quarterback Colt McCoy’s steady influence helped the Arizona Cardinals to some badly needed medicine: Vitamin W.

With Kyler Murray sidelined with an injured hamstring, backup quarterback Colt McCoy led the Arizona Cardinals to a win over the defending Super Bowl champions, and the Phoenix Suns unveiled their 2022-23 City Edition uniform that honors Arizona's indigenous tribes – these are the top stories in the world of sports from Nov. 7-13.

Colt McCoy passed for 238 yards in his first start of the season, James Conner rushed for two touchdowns and the Arizona Cardinals hung on for a 27-17 victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Rams, who lost Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp to a possibly serious ankle injury.

The Rams are 8 games removed from their Super Bowl victory. The Cardinals are just 9 games removed from an 11-win season and a playoff appearance. Yet the stakes seem fairly high for these two struggling NFC West rivals in their second meeting of the new season, and it's because both realize they're running out of time to write a proper sequel to last year's successes.

The Arizona Cardinals have tried a lot of things to shake their extended funk. Now the attention turns squarely to fourth-year coach Kliff Kingsbury.

The Arizona Cardinals were hurt by their own mistakes in another home loss as their season continues to slip away, and the Phoenix Suns could be without one of their key players for an extended period of time – these are the top stories in the world of sports from Oct. 31 to Nov. 6.

For a moment, the Seahawks looked like they were in trouble. The Cardinals grabbed a 14-10 lead in the third quarter when Zaven Collins returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown.

“We are just playing bad football,” Murray said. “It is not winning football and that is the result you are going to get when you are out there doing stuff like that.”

Given the fact the Cardinals (3-5) have trailed so much, it’s a minor miracle they’re still talking about making the playoffs. They’re still just two games behind in the NFC West when they host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

The Cardinals (3-5) lost to the Minnesota Vikings 34-26 on Sunday and have fallen to the basement of the NFC West. They’ll have three games in a row against division opponents starting with Seattle this weekend.

Ex-Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson got revenge against his former team and Tom Brady announced the end of his 13-year marriage – these are the top stories in the world of sports from Oct. 24-30.

As soon as Minnesota’s Harrison Smith began his interception return, Patrick Peterson turned to the Arizona sideline with his arms in the air and his legs dancing to celebrate. Sunday was personal for the former Arizona cornerback.
