It’s going to be an extreme uphill climb for one NFL roster just months from the start of the 2023 season.
Over the weekend, ESPN ranked every NFL team from best to worst. Starting with the Chiefs and ending with the lowly Arizona Cardinals:

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering Kyler Murray’s injury and DeAndre Hopkins’ departure.
Arizona still has some playmakers on its offense in James Conner, Marquise Brown and Zach Ertz, but the defense leaves a lot to be desired.
We’ll see how it goes once the games actually start though.
