The Atlanta Falcons are reeling. The Arizona Cardinals have been reeling for over a calendar year, but that reeling is a reeling with purpose.
The tanking allegations come and go for Arizona, especially this week with Kyler Murray getting back into the lineup, but they’re on a crash course with a top, possibly franchise-altering draft choice. They stink, but they’ve been a scrappy kind of stinky, hanging in games longer than you’d suspect and making them competitive enough to make you believe they’re not just cashing this season under first-year head coach Jonathan Gannon in.
