Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray continues to deliver unlikely breakdowns when the team needs him most. Carolina’s DJ Wonnum’s heartbreaking overtime sack of Murray that helped the Carolina Panthers win 36-30 in Week 16 won’t be easily forgotten.

In overtime, Murray and the Cardinals scored minus-6 total on their final seven-play drive before leaving their own end zone. During the entire sequence, the team suffered a delay of game penalty and a loss of 14 yards due to the aforementioned sack.

Words cannot justify the constant mistakes or frustration Cardinals fans have endured throughout the 2024 season. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing may deserve some of the blame, but Murray’s fourth-quarter interception that sent Demani Richardson to safety also showed a touch of desperation.

Murray has now thrown six interceptions in the last five games. With the loss, the Cardinals are now eliminated from playoff contention. In the sixth year of Murray’s professional career, fans have to wonder when his intuitiveness and decision-making ability will mature.

Still, for just two more weeks, television cameras will be forced to take a closer look at Murray’s side hustles and vivid isolation.
