What should I know about the Cardinals?

Arizona is coming off of a 4-13 season. However, quarterback Kyler Murray was limited to just eight games in 2023 due to a torn ACL suffered towards the end of the 2022 season. In his eight starts in the second half of the season, Arizona went 3-5. They selected wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth pick in the draft last spring.

It will be a quick turnaround for the Bills as they hit the road to face the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 12.
