Studs and duds in Cardinals’ Week 4 victory over Carolina Panthers

Take a look at the players who stood out and the players who disappointed for the Cardinals against the Panthers.

Following the first half of the game between the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers, it didn’t seem like there would be any studs to talk about.

Flash forward to Sunday night and Cardinals fans can finally celebrate a victory over the Carolina Panthers, something they haven’t been able to do since 2013.

The Cardinals had a dominant second half and ended up winning the game 26-16. They now get back to .500, which was so crucial given their next opponent is the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles.

Who were the players to stand out as studs and who were the duds of the game?

Arizona Cardinals vs Carolina Panthers Game Preview

Why Arizona Cardinals Will Win

Just don’t turn the ball over.

Carolina is going to be deep in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick as the season goes on – or at least in the top ten – but it was finally able to get a win last week against New Orleans with a +3 turnover margin.

Arizona hasn’t been perfect, and there are big concerns, but it has only given up one turnover so far.

The Panthers aren’t doing enough against the run, their offense is among the worst in the the league – especially running the ball – and now Christian McCaffrey is iffy.

But …

Why Carolina Panthers Will Win

Few teams have as many injury issues as Arizona.

Kyler Murray is good enough to overcome a slew of problems, but the passing game is among the worst in the NFL at hitting the downfield throws, the defense is last in the NFL at allowing big plays, and Carolina and Baker Mayfield are way overdue to make things happen.

Carolina has been balanced with a solid ground game, but the Panthers will push past 200 passing yards for the first time since the opener against Cleveland.

What’s Going To Happen

It took a miracle for Arizona to come up with its lone win of the season in overtime against the Raiders.

This is has been one of those teams going back to last year that thrives on the road – 8-1 away from Glendale before the playoffs – and it needs the plane ride.

The Carolina offense won’t be able to take advantage of the porous Cardinal defense.

Kyler Murray to face former teammate Baker Mayfield for the third time

Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield will meet for the third time when the Cardinals travel to Charlotte to take on the Panthers this Sunday.

Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals have a crucial game ahead of them this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

The Panthers’ starting quarterback, of course, is Baker Mayfield. Mayfield and Murray were teammates at Oklahoma, both won the Heisman Trophy and both were drafted No. 1 overall.

Murray and the Cards played Mayfield twice when was with the Cleveland Browns. Both times, the Cards defense had their way with Baker and Murray got the bragging rights, winning both games.

In their first meeting, Murray was a rookie in 2019 nearing the end of his first season. Mayfield and the Browns were not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs but weren’t going to make it that year.

This game was in Arizona and the Cards won 38-24. The highlight of this game was former Cardinal Kenyan Drake’s four rushing touchdown performance that crushed any remaining playoff hopes the Browns had.

Murray and Mayfield both had solid outings, but Murray was more efficient on the day moving the ball.

The second time these two teams met was last season. The Cardinals were struck with a COVID bug and were missing Kliff Kingsbury and Chandler Jones. Kyler Murray put on a clinic with four passing touchdowns and the Cards won 37-14.

Mayfield had a hail mary at the end of the half but was injured late in the game on a sack by J.J. Watt. The Cardinals were in full control of the game by the fourth quarter.

While the Panthers have certainly had the Cardinals’ number, having not lost to them since 2013, the Cards have had plenty of success against Mayfield. Something’s got to give.

Why Arizona Will Win

Stop the turnovers, and everything is fine.

The Cardinals were able to avoid big mistakes in the first two games and one, it turned it over three times against Detroit, and that turned into the difference.

Carolina has to force mistakes to pull this off. The running game is punchless without Christian McCaffrey, Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t push the ball deep enough, and the overall pop isn’t there to keep up if the Cardinals go off early, but …

Why Carolina Will Win

For all the fun and all the weapons, Arizona doesn’t put up the big numbers it should. It’s running the ball well because of Kyler Murray, and the overall yards are there, but the only time the team hit the 30-point mark was when the D forced a slew of mistakes.

The Panthers melted down in the loss to Tampa Bay, but for the most part it’s been careful with the ball. To push the turnover theme further, how did they beat the Chargers last week? +4 turnover margin.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

RB Kenyan Drake, Arizona 
It’s not that Drake has been bad, but he hasn’t ripped off the big production yet after closing last year on fire. He hasn’t scored in either of the last two games, hasn’t hit the 90-yard rushing mark, and hasn’t done much of anything for the passing game. He’s overdue, and …

What’s Going To Happen

The Carolina run defense is too soft. It’s last in the NFL in touchdowns allowed, and it’ll have to deal with a true running quarterback – Justin Herbert doesn’t really count – for the first time all year. Murray will have a huge day.
