Arizona Cardinals to face many top QBs in final stretch of 2025 season
The Cardinals will face 4 of the top 12 QBs in the NFL five times in their final six games. As NFL training camp approaches for most NFL teams (the Los Angeles Chargers reported on Saturday), sites continue to publish lists, rankings and predictions. ESPN has been revealing player rankings at different positions, but with a twist. They are based on the votes of coaches, scouts and executives. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler revealed the rankings for quarterbacks — the top 10 and a pair of honorable mentions. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray did not make the top 10 and did not receive honorable mention, but he did get top-10 votes. The Cardinals avoid most of the league's top quarterbacks in 2025. They will face just three of the top 10, although they will face one twice. They will also face both honorable mention quarterbacks. NFL top-10 QBs: Arizona Cardinals opponents in 2025 The Cardinals' schedule gives them their toughest quarterback gauntlet late in the season. They will face four of these quarterbacks five times in their final six games. Of course, it is notable that Mayfield has not beaten Murray in their head-to-head matchups so far.
