Cardinals Upset Chargers in Historic Opener | Sports News

The Arizona Cardinals stunned the NFL with a 26-14 upset over the LA Chargers in their season opener, marking the first time a first-year head coach has won his debut since 1973. Coach Mike LaFleur kept his feet on the ground, praising his team while stressing the long road ahead. The defense held the Chargers to just 14 points — their lowest since 2025 — while offense finally broke through with 26 points, their highest since last season. No celebration, no game ball — LaFleur’s focus is on improvement, not hype. Next up: a home showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.
