Arizona Cardinals projected for NFL playoffs 2025

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are focusing on improving their roster for the 2025 NFL season after a disappointing Wild Card exit, with new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard stepping in for Liam Coen. Analysts suggest the team needs to invest in defensive players to enhance their competitiveness in the NFC, particularly in pass rush and cornerback positions. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals, who finished with an 8-9 record, are projected to improve in the upcoming season, with a 40.7% chance of making the playoffs according to simulations. This follows a season where they were in playoff contention until faltering towards the end. Insights from the Eagles' recent Super Bowl victory highlight defensive strategies that the Cardinals could adopt to bolster their performance, particularly in generating pressure without heavy blitzing. The Cardinals are also considering potential free agent acquisitions from the Eagles to further strengthen their roster.
