The Arizona Cardinals 2021 season is over and it ended with a gut-wrenching six-game stretch, including that 34-11 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
As the popular saying goes, “it’s not how you start but how you finish”. Cardinals’ defensive end J.J. Watt was brutally honest when calling his team’s season “a massive failure” and it certainly was. They began the season 10-2 before losing five of their next six games to finish the season with a 11-7 record.
With general manager Steve Keim, head coach Kliff Kingsbury, and his staff entering the final year of their contracts with so much to prove, Cardinals’ owner Michael Bidwill will be reluctant to extend or fire anyone.
