When the 2024 schedule came out we knew who was going to be on it, we just did not know how it would be deployed.
So when the Arizona Cardinals first 10 games leading to their bye week was seen the fans penciled in maybe three wins.
It was a murderous schedule, with three early morning games across the country, division games against the opponents they struggle with the most and games that were just wild cards.
Yet, coming out of the first eight games of the 2024 NFL season, the Arizona Cardinals sit at 4-4, atop the NFC West, despite having played the hardest schedule thus far in the NFL.
