Kliff Kingsbury has done a decent job in his first season as Cardinals coach. The former head coach at Texas Tech was gifted Kyler Murray as the first overall pick in 2019. Thus far, there is some promise. And the win over Seattle shows major hope, especially when one factors in Brett Hundley had to close the game for an injured Murray. This is a situation that needs to be watched. Kingsbury still hasn’t coached a team to a better than .500 mark since 2015.
