Misery Index · Euphoric
Cardinals fans toasting MiLF and a 26-14 win over the Chargers while quietly bracing for the other shoe to drop.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
A blocked J.Scott punt gifting LAC the ball at the 3 could have swung the whole afternoon, but the defense held and the game never really tilted back. W.Johnson's fumble recovery off the A.Wingard punchout and D.Stills' sack of J.Herbert flipped field position in ways this fanbase hasn't felt in a while. The scoreboard says 26-14, the vibes say cautiously optimistic, and the lingering question is whether Rallis' defense can do this against real offenses too.
