The COVID-19 pandemic has proven incredibly difficult for many people to\u00a0keep in touch with one another and maintain close friendships. However, many have found that video games have been an excellent way of strengthening bonds and even making new friends during\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>. Now it seems that players for the Arizona Cardinals seem to agree with this philosophy as they use\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Madden NFL\u00a0<\/em>to maintain ties of friendship and camaraderie.<\/p>\n

Many traditional sports had their seasons postponed or canceled due to the pandemic earlier this year. And although leagues like the NHL and NBA have begun to slowly restart their seasons, some sports fans found themselves tuning in to esports events as a substitute for in-person competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Competitive video games like\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Madden NFL\u00a0<\/em>seem to have been instrumental for the Arizona Cardinals as well. According to wide receiver Christian Kirk, video games have served as the “No. 1 escape and savior during quarantine” for a majority of professional athletes.\u00a0Kirk went on to say that he would squad up with several of his teammates on\u00a0Call of Duty<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for several hours every day after they finished working out. This Cardinal CoD Squad has even spent time streaming their games on Twitch.<\/p>\n

Kirk went on to speak about why playing games with his teammates felt important to him. Games like\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Madden NFL<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>give the Cardinals “an opportunity to compete with one another, communicate. It’s like being on the field, I think that’s why we like it so much.” Outside linebacker Chandler Jones seems to agree with this mentality as he uses time with teammates on\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> to pick their brains, bond, as well as hold them accountable\u00a0for their workout routines.<\/p>\n

It will certainly be interesting to see if this extra time playing video games will be beneficial for the Cardinals when the NFL resumes play later this year. Cardinals quarterback, Kyler Murray has spent quite a bit of time playing\u00a0Madden<\/em> with teammates during the quarantine. Murray\u00a0has an overall quarterback rating of 77 in\u00a0Madden NFL 21<\/em><\/a>, making him the number 21 overall in the league.<\/p>\n

The Arizona Cardinals aren’t the only ones spending more time playing video games during the quarantine. According to The NPD Group, 35% of gamers have spent more time playing video games as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>. It seems like being stuck at home has been a great excuse for players to spend more time with a controller in their hands.<\/p>\n
