What happened: PFF placed the New Orleans Saints first in its ranking of teams positioned to reverse a last-place finish in 2026. The Arizona Cardinals occupy the final spot.

Why it matters: A worst-to-first turnaround would carry a division title and an automatic playoff berth. Arizona enters with a harsher outlook after PFF projected the Cardinals for the NFL's fewest wins.

What to watch: Training camp and preseason roster decisions will test whether either team can improve its outlook before Week 1.
