Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray will be criticized for the performance he exhibited as a team leader the latter half of the 2024 NFL season.
In Saturday’s 13-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Murray was again dismal in his decision making, tallying 15 incompletions, tossing two interceptions and only one touchdown in the game.
When assessing the top teams in the NFL, it’s noticeable that the elite teams all have a habit of avoiding turnovers and sustaining offensive drives. The Cardinals are a mid-tier in regards the with total of 20 giveaways. Murray and the Cardinals punted four times Saturday, went 6-for-13 on third down and 0-for-2 on fourth down.
Something has got to give for Murray, who has thrown seven interceptions in his last five games. Perhaps Murray can lessen the letdown by performing well in the season finale versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. Needless to say, Murray has had a season that he may want to forget heading into 2025.
