Sunday felt like another loop for the Arizona Cardinals. They watched the Los Angeles Rams roll to a 45-17 win. The energy dropped, and frustration grew. And after the final whistle, head coach Jonathan Gannon made it clear someone needed to own it.

“It’s not okay. It’s not acceptable by me, by any of us in there,” Gannon spoke with fire, right after the game.

Then he followed it up with what hurts even more, “Collectively, we couldn’t stop them, and we didn’t put up a lot of points.”

Gannon said it came down to a lack of complementary football in the loss to the Rams.

After the loss, the Cardinals have dropped 10 of their last 11. The division? It’s been a nightmare. They’re now 0-5 in the NFC West with blowout losses stacking up. The last three division matchups show a combined score of 130-61. And now Jonathan Gannon sits at 3-14 in divisional games since taking over the team.

So now the Cardinals sit at 3-10. The season is slipping fast, and the only upside is draft position. The loss keeps Arizona on track for a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. And honestly, with how many roster holes remain, that matters.

However, now it gets messy. Atlanta and Cincinnati are close in the draft race. Those games could change everything. Yet instead of motivation, Jacoby Brissett sounded drained after the loss.

After Jonathan Gannon, Brissett addressed the Cardinals’ loss

The Arizona Cardinals sit at 3-10, and State Farm Stadium hasn’t felt like home in weeks. Six straight losses in the Desert and another five-game losing streak staring back at the fanbase of the Valley. And the most painful part came in Week 14, and now Brissett stepped to the mic.

“They just beat us. There’s no trying to make an excuse about it.”

And with nothing left to chase except pride, he said he’s ready to finish strong and control whatever is left on the schedule. After that, he tried to explain what the team mindset is.

“It’s like the old saying, ‘When you’re trying to get into the gym, the heaviest weight is the door.’ And that is what it is right now; we have to keep showing up. Keep having the attitude to show up and get ourselves off the mat. I think we have the right guys in the locker room who are doing that. Obviously, it’s hard. It’s not an easy task. The only way to get through it is to see it through.”

Now, the Cardinals enter a rough stretch. And Brissett revealed the goal remains the same: to win the season on a positive note.
