VANCE JOSEPH

The Cardinals surprised the retiring J.J. Watt with a touching tribute video that made the future Hall of Famer emotional.

Arizona needs an aligned GM/coach tandem, with priority No. 1 being to get the best out of QB Kyler Murray when he's healthy again.

At this point, nothing hurts the New England Patriots offense more than the truth. Calling those plays has been former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia, who is currently working as the Patriots' offensive line coach and senior football advisor after rejoining the team last year. So it's hard to blame Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for playfully noting Patricia's experience, or lack thereof, while discussing their "Monday Night Football" opponent:“It’s like a defensive guy calling offense.”Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph on the Patriots offensive play calling. Not exactly an endorsement of where the Patriots offense is going. The one area where Joseph might be inaccurate is the Patriots not turning the ball over (though, granted, we don't no hard they're trying).

Even though the NFL attempted to enhance opportunities for minority candidates to become head coaches in a league whose players are 70% Black, there was a disconnect.

The Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their head coach.

And both teams also found a way to the top of the latest AP Pro32 poll. The Cardinals moved up two spots as they received 11 of the 12 first-place votes for 383 points in balloting Tuesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Titans are coming off a 28-16 win at the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Two teams coming off unexpected losses are tied at No.

The Arizona Cardinals and the Buffalo Bills are tied for the top spot in the latest AP Pro32 poll.

The Arizona Cardinals improved to 5-0 for the first time since 1974, riding a stellar defensive performance to a 17-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

J.J. Watt has agreed to a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. Watt was released last month by the Houston Texans. But the more he looked at his options, the more the Arizona Cardinals made sense. Watt said the team's recruiting pitch was “strong and heavy” when trying to entice the edge rusher to the desert. Watt said he'll always remember Houston fondly, but he's eager to start the next phase of his career with the Cardinals.
