23 days until the Cardinals hit the road against the Chargers — and last year’s rollercoaster season is still fresh in everyone’s mind. After a rocky start with new head coach Jonathan Gannon and Kyler Murray sidelined by injury, Josh Dobbs took over under center. The team stumbled to 1-8 before Murray returned, then traded Dobbs for a fresh start. They finished 4-13, but never quit — always forcing opponents to fight. Budda Baker was the lone Pro Bowler, while Murray dazzled in his eight games with 1,799 yards, 10 TDs, and 5 picks plus 3 rushing scores. James Conner hit a career-high 1,040 rushing yards and 7 TDs. Trey McBride exploded as a tight end, leading the team with 81 catches for 825 yards and 3 TDs — setting a franchise record he’d break again. On defense, Dennis Gardeck terrorized QBs with 6 sacks and 12 TFLs, Jalen Thompson snagged 4 INTs, and Antonio Hamilton broke up 11 passes. It wasn’t pretty — but it was gritty.
