The Arizona Cardinals are projected to struggle in the 2026 NFL season, predicted by Brett Kollman to finish with only one win. The team is favored to lose their first 13 games before a bye week and then squeak out a victory against the New York Jets. After that, they are expected to lose their final three games, potentially setting a franchise record for losses. Despite offensive talent, concerns about quarterback Jacoby Brissett contribute to the bleak outlook. Expectations are low, yet winning even one or two games could have future implications for acquiring a franchise quarterback in 2027.
