Cardinals continue unwanted streak, lose rookie star to concussion against Packers

The Arizona Cardinals have become the epitome of mediocrity in the NFL. After falling 34-13 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Arizona now sits at 2-4 this season.

Since the start of the 2021 season, Arizona has a 21-35 record (including this season). And after a surprising win over division rival San Francisco in Week 5, Sunday's loss to Green Bay extended a streak for the Cardinals that can be pointed to as a root of most of its woes.

Arizona has not won back-to-back games since Oct. 24, 2021, back when the Cardinals opened the 2021-22 season 7-0 and eventually finished 11-6.

That streak has lasted nearly three years (1,033 days) and spans 46 regular-season games, a portion of the nearly decade-long division title drought for the franchise (2015).

To add insult to injury, Arizona lost its star rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to a concussion during Sunday's loss to Green Bay, the team announced on X.

He could be seen attempting to stand up after a hard hit, but then stumbling over, clearly shaken up. He did not return to the game.
