The 2024 season was the Arizona Cardinals' 105th in the National Football League (NFL), their 37th in Arizona and their second under the head coach/general manager tandem of Jonathan Gannon and Monti Ossenfort. The Cardinals improved on their 4–13 record from the previous 2 seasons following a Week 9 victory against the Chicago Bears. However, they suffered their fourth late season collapse in five years and were eliminated from playoff contention for the third consecutive season after an overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers coupled with the Los Angeles Rams beating the New York Jets in Week 16.[1] They would secure a losing record for the third consecutive season following a loss against the Rams in Week 17.
