Season 728 concludes

The 2018 NFL season drew to a close, with the powerhouses ready for action.

Let's start with a digression—the battle for the bottom.

Last season, the Arizona Cardinals' iconic quarterback Carson Palmer announced his retirement, signaling a full rebuild for the team.

At that time, many people expressed the view that Palmer wasn't all that impressive as a quarterback; over the years in Arizona he only managed to lead the team to the playoffs a few times, with consistently lacklustre performances in the postseason. The disparaging remarks were endless: "good riddance," "forget the Hall of Fame," "a perfect time for the Cardinals to start anew."

However, people quickly realized how difficult rebuilding is; they also recognized how excellent and important the "mediocre" quarterback they belittled truly was.

The Arizona Cardinals finished the season with a meagre three wins and thirteen losses, easily clinching the unwanted title of second-worst team without any suspense.
