The Arizona Cardinals are outperforming expectations with a 6-4 record and four consecutive wins, leading the NFC West. Quarterback Kyler Murray is playing at a high level, and the defense has improved significantly. With seven upcoming winnable games, a playoff appearance seems likely, especially if they can perform well in divisional matchups.
Despite the optimism, some analysts argue that the Cardinals are not truly ahead of schedule, as their performance aligns with reasonable expectations given the weak NFC. The team still has areas to improve, particularly on defense, but they are showing signs of progress under new management.
