The 2025 season is the Arizona Cardinals' 106th in the National Football League (NFL), their 38th in Arizona, their 20th playing their homes games at State Farm Stadium and their third under the head coach/general manager tandem of Jonathan Gannon and Monti Ossenfort. They failed to improve upon their 2024 record of 8–9 and will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year with a Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cardinals' 3–12 start is their worst since they started 2–10 in 2023. The Cardinals started out with a 2–0 record, but then lost five games in a row, the longest losing streak at that point in the 2025 season. The streak was broken when they upset the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. The Cardinals clinched their fourth consecutive losing season (and their 9th non-winning season in 10 years) after a 20–17 loss on the road to the Buccaneers. Since losing running back James Conner to injury, the team's record has been an abysmal 1-12.[1]

The Cardinals blew a 21–3 lead and suffered an embarrassing defeat, falling to 2–3 on the season. Arizona led 21–6 entering the fourth quarter before a series of critical mistakes shifted momentum. Running back Emari Demercado appeared to have all but sealed the game with a 72-yard touchdown run with 12:51 remaining, but he dropped the ball just before crossing the goal line, resulting in a touchback. Later in the quarter, safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson intercepted a pass from Cam Ward but immediately fumbled. Titans receiver Tyler Lockett recovered the ball in the end zone, cutting the Cardinals' lead to 21–19 with 4:51 left. After a subsequent punt, the Cardinals allowed the Titans to drive down the field, setting up a 29-yard game-winning field goal by Joey Slye as time expired. The Titans won 22–21, snapping a 10-game losing streak and giving rookie quarterback Cam Ward his first NFL victory.[31][32]
The game also marked the first time in NFL history that a team lost three consecutive games on a field goal as time expired.[33] It was the Cardinals' first home loss to the Titans since the 1997 season, when the franchise was known as the Tennessee Oilers.[34]
On the sideline, head coach Jonathan Gannon lectured Demercado before seemingly hitting him in the arm. Gannon later apologized to Demercado and was fined $100,000 by the team.[35][36]

Despite leading for most of the game, the Cardinals allowed Packers running back Josh Jacobs to score the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes remaining. Arizona attempted a final comeback, but a critical sack by defensive end Micah Parsons ended any chance of a rally, sealing the Cardinals' fifth consecutive loss.
The Cardinals became the first team in NFL history to lose three consecutive games after leading by 7 or more points entering the fourth quarter.[37] Arizona joined the 2017 49ers and the 1984 Browns as the only teams in NFL history to lose five straight games by four points or fewer. Their five-game losing streak came by a combined total of just 13 points.[38]
