Don’t let the tie fool you, the Cardinals didn’t play well enough to win that game on Sunday.

Before halftime, it looked like Kyler Murray was going to have a tough week ahead of him in the media and with the coaching staff, but Larry Fitzgerald made some big plays and David Johnson looked solid as well.

Still, you really don’t want to see your undersized QB get passes batted at the line of scrimmage and you don’t want to see him rely on his legs as much.

The offense looks alright at times and the defense didn’t completely collapse, but right now I have a hard time seeing a good team come into Arizona and struggling. Though, players like Larry Fitzgerald, Patrick Peterson (suspended), David Johnson, and Chandler Jones always put you in a position to win when they are on the field.
