PRELUDE

The Arizona Cardinals finished the preseason with a 2-1 record, though that's not expected to carry over into the regular season. Jonathan Gannon's first preseason saw both victories come in 18-17 fashion against the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings, respectively.

Expectations aren't very big heading into 2023, as the Cardinals are projected at just 3.5 wins - the lowest in the league. 

Yet Arizona is very intent on winning, and the hope is the final 53-man roster can make good on those hopes.
