Performance Trends
2025 Standings Trend
Arizona’s 2025 season was defined by a sharp decline after a competitive opening stretch.
| Phase | Record |
| First 4 games | 3-1 |
| Remaining 13 games | 0-13 |
| Final record | 3-14 |
| Final losing streak | 9 games |
The Cardinals began 2025 with wins over New Orleans and Carolina, then lost 13 of their final 14 games. The final record of 3-14 was their worst since the 3-13 season in 2018.
Offensive and Defensive Production
| Statistic | 2025 Cardinals | NFL Rank |
| Points per game | 20.9 | 23rd |
| Points allowed per game | 28.7 | 29th |
| Total offense | 5,538 yards | — |
| Passing offense | 3,955 yards | — |
| Rushing offense | 1,583 yards | — |
| Point differential | -133 | — |
| Expected W-L | 5.4-11.6 | — |
| SRS | -4.38 | 24th |
The largest statistical weakness was defensive scoring: Arizona allowed 488 points, an average of 28.7 per game. The offense scored 355 points, leaving a -133 point differential.
10-Year Performance
From 2016 through 2025, Arizona went 61-102-2 in the regular season.
| Measure, 2016-2025 | Result |
| Wins | 61 |
| Losses | 102 |
| Ties | 2 |
| Games | 165 |
| Winning percentage | .375 |
| Seasons above .500 | 2 |
| Seasons at .500 | 2 |
| Seasons below .500 | 6 |
| Playoff appearances | 1 |
| NFC West titles | 1 |
The two winning seasons during this period were 2016 (7-8-1, technically below .500) — therefore not a winning season — and 2021 (11-6). Arizona’s other .500 season was 2017 at 8-8 and 2020 at 8-8. The decade therefore produced one season above .500: 2021.
Historical Context
Arizona’s current standings position contrasts sharply with the franchise’s long-term history. The Cardinals are the NFL’s oldest continuously operating professional football franchise, with their history beginning before the NFL itself was established in its modern form.
The franchise’s two NFL championships came in 1925 and 1947, decades before the Super Bowl era. Its most significant modern achievement came in 2008, when the Cardinals won the NFC Championship and reached Super Bowl XLIII.
Historical Standings Comparison
| Period | Best Regular-Season Record | Worst Record | Division Titles |
| 2016-2025 | 11-6 (2021) | 3-13 (2018) | 0 |
| 2008-2015 | 13-3 (2015) | 5-11 (2012) | 3 |
| Franchise history | 13-3 (2015) | Multiple 3-win seasons | 3 NFC West titles |
The 2015 Cardinals remain the benchmark for the modern franchise, finishing 13-3, winning the NFC West and reaching the NFC Championship Game.
The 2025 team, at 3-14, was 10 wins below that 2015 standard. Its .176 winning percentage was also dramatically below the franchise’s 2021 playoff season, when Arizona finished 11-6 (.647).
Larry Fitzgerald provides another historical benchmark. His 1,432 receptions and 17,492 receiving yards rank second in NFL history, while his 121 receiving touchdowns rank sixth all-time according to the Cardinals.
Recent Form
The 2026 regular season has not started. Arizona’s first regular-season game is scheduled for September 13 at the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Cardinals are 1-2 in the 2026 preseason after three completed preseason games:
| 2026 Preseason Game | Result |
| vs Carolina Panthers — Hall of Fame Game | L, 30-33 |
| at Las Vegas Raiders | W, 27-14 |
| vs Dallas Cowboys | L, 13-34 |
| at Green Bay Packers | Scheduled Aug. 28 |
The NFL lists the Cardinals at 1-2 in preseason and their next game at Green Bay on August 28. These games do not affect the NFC West regular-season standings.
