Former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray got off to a fantastic start in his second NFL season in Arizona, but things have started to come back to Earth a bit for him.
After a 5-2 start, the Cardinals have now dropped four of their last five games with their only win coming on a Hail Mary against Buffalo. Now at 6-6, they are fighting for their life to even make the postseason after looking like potential contenders just a month or so ago.
On Sunday, the struggles continued as Arizona suffered a home loss to division foe Los Angeles 38-28.
Murray wasn’t terrible by any means going 21/39 for 173 yards and three touchdowns. But he wasn’t exactly good either as up until a late touchdown when the game was already decided, his completion percentage hovered around 50 percent for the bulk of the afternoon and he also threw a killer pick six.
He also was a non-factor in the running game with just 15 yards rushing. Certainly far below what we have come to expect from him in that department as well.
Trying to right the ship, Murray and the Cardinals will next hit the road and head east for a matchup with the suddenly first place New York Giants next Sunday afternoon.
