Firing:
Things just weren’t meant to be for the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Wild Card Round against the Los Angeles Rams.
In what was supposed to be a close matchup, the Rams dominated and they’ve sent Arizona packing.
After such a brilliant start to the season, the Cardinals’ dreams of competing for a Super Bowl are dead in the water. Countless fans are downright furious with head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Matter of fact, folks are calling for the guy to be sent packing himself.
