Mike LaFleur just achieved a milestone untouched since 1973, guiding the Arizona Cardinals to a surprise 26-14 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in his head coaching debut. Can LaFleur’s fresh strategy turn the tide for a franchise long hungry for change, or is this early win just the beginning? The Cardinals, led by Jacoby Brissett, managed the clock and outplayed expectations as 9.5-point underdogs, with Walter Nolan emerging as a defensive force despite relentless attention from opponents.

Looking ahead, the looming matchup against the Seattle Seahawks raises the question: Is Drew Lock truly a threat, or will his propensity for mistakes swing momentum in Arizona’s favor? With Sam Darnold doubtful, the battle in the pocket and the performance of the Cardinals' defense could be the difference-maker as fans ponder whether a 2-0 start is within reach.
