The 2020 NFL season ended on an anti-climactic note for Kliff Kingsbury and the Arizona Cardinals. The NFC West franchise started their campaign on a strong note but failed to build on that as the season progressed. They missed out on a playoff spot, finishing 3rd in their division with an 8-8 record.
However, Murray and Co. are doing things differently in 2021. The Cardinals are currently the only remaining unbeaten team left in the NFL. A big reason behind their dominance this season is the performance of veteran defensive end, JJ Watt.
