The Arizona Cardinals' rebuild, initially projected to extend into 2025 or 2026, has accelerated thanks to a surprising three-game winning streak. With a dominant 29-9 victory over the Chicago Bears, they now sit atop the NFC West.

Second-year coach Jonathan Gannon emphasized a day-by-day approach, while general manager Monti Ossenfort has made strategic moves, including acquiring linebacker Baron Browning to enhance the pass rush.

Despite some struggles in the passing game, the Cardinals' rushing attack has been impressive, averaging about 150 yards per game. However, quarterback Kyler Murray expressed a desire to connect more with his wide receivers.

Defensive coordinator Nick Rallis also had a notable day, balancing personal joy with professional success as his defense excelled against the Bears. The Cardinals aim to extend their winning streak against the New York Jets next.
