28. Arizona Cardinals (27)

One of these days, the Arizona Cardinals are going to finally earn that first win of 2019 to help take some of the pressure off Kyler Murray under center.

Unfortunately, the time just wasn’t right for the Cardinals in Week 4 after Muray and the rest of his teammates struggled to put up points in a tough 27-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Since division games sometimes bring out the best in teams, there were some football fans that believed Arizona could find a way to shock Seattle in this one, which clearly wasn’t the case.

Despite the loss, the best approach the Cardinals can take is continue to realize how much this early experience for Murray will pay off in the long run for the Oklahoma product since this is what truly matters the most in the long run.

And who knows, with Arizona traveling to Ohio next weekend to take on the Cincinnati Bengals, maybe that first win will finally take place on Sunday.

Otherwise, it could turn out to be a long wait for the Cardinals since the rest of their October schedule looks far from easy with tough games against teams such as the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers.
