Everyone Is Missing THIS About The Arizona Cardinals Defense

The Arizona Cardinals are entering 2026 with some of the lowest expectations in the NFL—but are there some positives that could actually make them a surprise?   On this edition of Southwest Bias, Espo tries to find the positives in what has been a bleak offseason. The defense was so injury plagued in 2025 that it’s hard to judge if they’re really the team that gave up a franchise record 500+ points or a respectable NFL unit.   While much of the conversation surrounding the Cardinals focuses on where they rank among the NFL's worst teams, there are several signs that this roster could surprise if everything goes perfect and the defense could be one.   Are NFL fans and media sleeping on the Cardinals? Or are the concerns still justified?   👇 Let me know in the comments:   - Where do you rank the Arizona Cardinals entering 2026? - Is Arizona being underrated? - How much can the defense improve this season?   If you enjoy Arizona Cardinals news, NFL analysis, roster breakdowns, season predictions, and film study, make sure to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more content.   Limited-time offer!
