Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Jonathan Gannon has not publicly addressed the team’s recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams on December 28, 2024. In that game, a potential go-ahead touchdown pass deflected off tight end Trey McBride’s helmet, resulting in an interception that sealed the Cardinals’ 13-9 defeat.
In his post-game comments, Gannon expressed optimism about the team’s potential, stating, “I think we can compete with anybody, but again, that doesn’t count. It’s about winning and losing… I just got to do a better job, but I know they’re doing the right things.”
The Cardinals, now holding a 7-9 record, have been eliminated from playoff contention. Despite this, Gannon remains focused on the team’s development, emphasizing the importance of learning and adapting. He noted, “I know we’re close, man, and I know it’s hard to see that… For me, that’s hard to take on the chin but we’ll get better from it. We’ll get better.”
Quarterback Kyler Murray also shared his perspective, choosing to remain positive about the team’s future. He stated, “I see a light at the end of that tunnel. I think we’re a couple plays away, a couple of plays away from being a 10-win team or right where we want to be, going to the playoffs or winning the division.”
The Cardinals will conclude their season with a home game against the San Francisco 49ers, who are also out of playoff contention. Gannon and his coaching staff aim to use this final game as an opportunity to evaluate players and build momentum for the next season.
As of now, there is no publicly available open letter or emotional message from Coach Gannon regarding the recent loss. The team and its supporters continue to look ahead, focusing on growth and future successes.
