29. Arizona Cardinals (29)

In all seriousness, nobody really expected the Arizona Cardinals to keep things close with the Kansas City Chiefs when looking at where these two teams stand in comparison to one another, although they did make it interesting. Believe it or not, the Cardinals gave the Chiefs a little bit of a scare when seeing how this was a one-possession game heading into the fourth quarter before Andy Reid and company pulled away with a win.

Losing by 12 points may seem frustrating for a team like Arizona, but also keep in mind how most experts viewed this game as a potential blowout by Kansas City, so the Cardinals should be proud in a weird sort of way. Also, Josh Rosen will hopefully use this game as motivation sine the rookie quarterback deserves some credit for handling the hostile atmosphere Chiefs fans always provide, although it would have been better to receive more help at wideout.

Maybe with a favorable matchup at home in Week 11 against the Oakland Raiders, Rosen will be in better position to earn his third career win as the starter. If not, well it’s not like the Cardinals were going to compete for a playoff spot anyway, so it won’t exactly be that big of a deal since this season is already a lost cause.
