Both the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals are facing subpar finishes in 2016. Bruce Arians’ squad has had more of a ‘fall from grace’, as the team is a season removed from being the top of the NFC West at 13-3 and getting to the NFC Championship game. Since joining the Cardinals in 2013, Arians has produced a winning season in each year by winning 10 games or more.
Unfortunately, it looks grim for both teams this season even if they are still mathematically alive in the NFC Playoff race. Saints fans have been adamant about the team ‘tanking’ for a higher draft pick after the most recent debacle against the Buccaneers, which was the second straight game the offense couldn’t put it together.
