As we get ready to ring in 2023, we're taking a look back at the top stories in the world of sports from this year.

In a tweet, JJ Watt wrote the Cardinals' overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at State Farm Stadium on Dec. 27 was his “last ever NFL home game.”

A billionaire who played college basketball for Michigan State has agreed to buy the Phoenix Suns and Mercury franchises, and the man responsible for the most iconic play in NFL history passed away – these are the top stories in the world of sports from Dec. 19-25.

Arizona (4-11) has lost five straight games, while Tampa Bay snapped a two-game skid.

The Cardinals were eliminated from the NFC playoff race after losing to the Broncos 24-15 on Sunday and the team’s avalanche of injuries continued.

After she was freed from a Russian prison in a high-level prisoner exchange, WNBA star Brittney Griner announced she will return for the Phoenix Mercury's upcoming season, and the general manager of the Arizona Cardinals is taking an immediate leave of absence from the team – these are the top stories in the world of sports from Dec. 12-18.

Backup quarterback Brett Rypien overcame relentless pressure from a J.J. Watt-led Arizona defense, Justin Simmons had two interceptions and the Denver Broncos held off the Cardinals 24-15 on Sunday.

Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson were two trendy picks to lead their teams on deep playoff runs this season. For that matter, two trendy picks to lead fantasy teams to playoff success, too. It hasn’t exactly gone according to script.

Even if the postseason is a long shot, the final five games of the season provide plenty of intrigue for the Cardinals (4-8). The team’s performance over the next month could decide whether owner Michael Bidwill ends up making big changes.

The Minnesota Vikings cornerback — who played his first 10 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals — said on his "All Things Covered" podcast that "Kyler Murray don’t care about nobody but Kyler Murray."

The Cardinals (4-8) couldn’t hold a fourth-quarter lead Sunday, and the Los Angeles Chargers rallied for a 25-24 win.
