PFF Simulates Cardinals 2023 Season

The Arizona Cardinals will again be picking high if Pro Football Focus' game simulator is anywhere close to being accurate.

The Arizona Cardinals don't have high expectations for 2023. 

The team lost some considerable talent after going 4-13 last season. With Kyler Murray still recovering from ACL surgery and the Cardinals under a new coaching staff, 

Pro Football Focus' game simulator (which is still in their beta stage) doesn't project very well for the Cardinals in 2023, even with Murray playing the entire season. 

The Cardinals went just 3-14, losing their first seven games of the season. They did win their final two-of-three, perhaps a good sign that the team was starting to mold under the vision and guidance of Jonathan Gannon.
