Who is your backup team?

When the Rams aren’t on which team are you changing the channel for?

When you’re not watching the Los Angeles Rams play on Sunday, which team are flipping the channel to the check in on during the season?

Even though they are in the same division as LA, the Arizona Cardinals are my local team and it’s hard to root against them when they aren’t playing the Rams. One reason is obviously the Kurt Warner connection. I remember when he took the Cardinals to their first (and only) Super Bowl appearance back in 2009. They were called one of the worst playoff teams in NFL history with a 9-7 record that barely got them in the tournament and it became an underdog story only Warner could orchestrate (probably could have been another movie if they won the Super Bowl). Larry Fitzgerald was amazing to watch and paired with Anquan Boldin the offense was a lot of fun to watch.

Even today Kyler Murray always makes the team a must watch on any given week. His speed and elusiveness creates havoc and often his play reminds me of playing Madden as a kid. They always seem to start out strong but falter as the season goes on which fits right in with any other Arizona sports team.
