The 2022 season was the Arizona Cardinals' 103rd in the National Football League (NFL), their 35th in Arizona, and their fourth and final under head coach Kliff Kingsbury. They attempted to become the third team in NFL history to host and win the Super Bowl as that year's Super Bowl was held at State Farm Stadium. However, they failed to improve upon their 11–6 record from the previous year after a Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and missed the postseason after a Week 15 loss against the Denver Broncos.[1]
Key season-ending injuries to their starters and inconsistencies on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball ultimately led to a season-ending seven-game losing streak and a third consecutive late-season collapse, as they matched a franchise record of 13 losses in a season that was set in the 2000 and 2018 squads. To add to those struggles, they had also lost eight home games this season, surpassing the 2018 squad for the most home losses in franchise history, only having won a single home game since Week 8 of the previous season. The team was also plagued by drama before and during the season, which was seen by some observers as a reason for Arizona's dismal performance in 2022.[2][3]
A day after the season ended, the team announced that neither head coach Kliff Kingsbury nor general manager Steve Keim would be returning the upcoming season.[4] This would also signal the end of an era for three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner J.J. Watt, as he officially announced his retirement following an overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Organizational drama
Following an 11–6 2021 season and a playoff appearance for the first time since 2015, the Arizona Cardinals hoped to become the third consecutive team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Instead, Arizona experienced a disastrous and drama-plagued 2022 season.
During the offseason, quarterback Kyler Murray deleted all references towards the Cardinals organization from his social media accounts, which suggested that a rift was growing between him and the organization.[5] Despite this, Murray and the Cardinals agreed to a 5-year, $230.5 million extension in July, but the new contract contained a film study clause that required Murray to study film for four hours a week. Several observers intensely criticized the Cardinals organization for the inclusion of the clause, including Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, who perceived the clause as stereotypical towards black quarterbacks. In response to the criticism, the team removed the clause a week later.[6]
Throughout the season, the relationship between Murray and head coach Kliff Kingsbury deteriorated. For example, Murray and Kingsbury engaged in a heated sideline argument during a game against the New Orleans Saints.[7] Murray also criticized Kingsbury’s scheming and said that it was "kinda fucked" following a game against the Los Angeles Chargers.[8] These incidents and the offseason contract situation caused others, such as former Arizona All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson, to question Murray’s character, focus, and work ethic.[9][10]
Murray was far from the only Cardinal to be a source of drama. For example, on May 2, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins got suspended for six games for failing a drug test.[11] Wide receiver Marquise Brown was arrested during the offseason for speeding.[12] Additionally, assistant coach Sean Kugler was fired by the team after he allegedly groped a woman in Mexico City before an international game against the San Francisco 49ers.[13]
The off-field noise and injuries to key players, including Murray, were too much to overcome for Arizona, who cratered to a ghastly 4–13 record. Before and during the season, several former Cardinals, including Peterson and running back Chase Edmonds, argued that the team culture under Kingsbury, general manager Steve Keim, and team owner Michael Bidwill was responsible for the team’s general lack of success in recent seasons.[14] Following the season, Kingsbury was fired and Keim stepped down due to health concerns.[4]
