This season has been a surprise for the Arizona Cardinals — but not really in any way a good surprise.
Before the season, the Cards were a trendy pick to at least make the Super Bowl, if not win it.
But, after Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Cards stand at 4-6-1 — six spots out of the playoffs, if the season ended today.
To find out what’s going wrong, we speak with Jess Root, site editor for Cards Wire, which is part of USA Today’s NFL Wire. Before the season, Root said it’s basically Super Bowl or a big disappointment and heartbreak for the Cards this year, and it seems like it’s more of the latter than the former.
