GLENDALE – With a roster filled with electrifying players like Kyler Murray, Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., Josh Sweat, Budda Baker and more, the excitement level around the Valley is high for next year. However, that sentiment isn’t shared with USA Today’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, who ranked all NFL teams on the most-to-least entertaining for the 2025 season. Middlehurst-Schwartz ranked Arizona 23rd and behind teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks.

Middlehurst-Schwartz on why Cardinals ranked low on the entertainment scale:
“Shouldn’t a team with Kyler Murray, a rugged run game and some stellar options in the receiving corps be ranked higher After a serious talent infusion on defense, maybe Arizona’s breakout season will be just a year later than most expected. Still, until offensive coordinator Drew Petzing finds a way to utilize Marvin Harrison Jr. more creatively, this feels like a team that might be stuck in the middle of the pack in several respects.”
