The Arizona Cardinals are staring down history today, but not the good kind. They’re trying to snap a brutal franchise-record nine-game home losing streak that’s been hanging over them since September 14, 2025.
Nine Losses and a Weird L.A. Stat
Can you believe it? Nine straight losses at home. They’re literally praying this thing doesn’t hit double digits. Their last win at home was over a year ago. Wild. But hey, they did manage an upset win last week in L.A., which is kinda wild because they’ve actually got more victories in L.A. this year than the Rams and Chargers combined. Talk about a weird stat!
Now, for their reward, they get the 4-2 Broncos rolling into town. And get this, the Broncos just got three extra days to recover from their overtime win against *our* Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, those same Broncos who handed our guys a tough one get to come in fresh against a Cardinals team that’s been completely cursed at home. That feels a little unfair, doesn’t it?
Trey McBride Chasing History Amidst the Chaos
If the Cards are going to turn this around, they’ll need some serious effort, and tight end Trey McBride is absolutely going to be fueling it. McBride is on the cusp of something huge: he needs just four catches today to hit 400 career receptions. If he pulls that off, he’ll be the second-fastest tight end in NFL history to hit that mark, doing it in only 73 games. The only guy faster? Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, who did it in an insane 72 games. So, yeah, McBride’s chasing history here, even if his team is struggling hard.
So, today isn’t just about ending a losing streak for Arizona. A win would actually match their entire total from last season, hitting three victories. For the Broncos, a loss would match *their* total from last season, also three. That’s how much is on the line. Can the Cardinals finally get it done at home, or will the weight of their franchise-record streak, and a well-rested Broncos squad fresh off beating our Hawks, be too much?
