After two straight losses to teams in transition, the Arizona Cardinals have proven they too belong in that mold.
The Arizona Cardinals decided to throw us a mirage in Weeks One and Two. They upset the defending NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers in a 24-20 thriller. They defeated the Washington Football Team by two scores.

Hey, every NFL fan base expects the best out of their team. We are no different. Especially after a hot start to the season. Optimism is natural. And it’s natural to feel disappointed after the Cardinals dropped two straight against the Detroit Lions and Carolina Panthers.
