The 2021 season was an uneven one for the Cardinals, who faltered after a hot start and were crushed in their wild-card playoff clash with the Rams. The good: Arizona began 8-0, riding the wave of Kyler Murray performances and a dynamic run game that featured do-it-all-back Chase Edmonds and bruiser James Conner.
