During the offseason, the Cardinals' home stadium was renamed from University of Phoenix Stadium toState Farm Stadium. The Cardinals were one of two current teams, along with theChicago Bears, who were among the 14 charter members of the American Professional Football Association, which later became the NFL, that celebrated its 100th season in 2019.
This was also the first season with quarterbackKyler Murray, who was drafteddrafted first overall to be the starting quarterback as the Cardinals then traded previous starterJosh Rosen away after just one season. The Cardinals improved on their 3–13 campaign in 2018. However, they were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention for the fourth straight season after a Week 13 loss to theLos Angeles Rams.
