The Cardinals converted only three of 11 third downs and recorded 10 first downs.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle\u2019s defense deserves credit for its dominance, but the Cardinals also hurt themselves with mistakes and missed opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Second-year wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. continued to have issues with drops, and one of them proved costly. After Kyler Murray delivered a slant pass, Harrison failed to secure it and the ball wound up in the hands of Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Murray, meanwhile, wasn\u2019t immune to criticism. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlbertBreer\/status\/1971399856402071752\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NFL insider Albert Breer;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NFL insider Albert Breer<\/a> noted the quarterback\u2019s tendency to make things harder on his own line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKyler Murray is bailing out of the back of the pocket WAY too much tonight,\u201d Breer wrote. \u201cProtection hasn\u2019t been great, but he\u2019s not helping his linemen or receivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the third, Murray\u2019s stat line told the story: 18 of 29 for only 94 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. His passer rating sat at 41.7. The Seahawks also sacked him four times for a loss of 22 yards, adding to the Cardinals\u2019 problems.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>If Arizona hopes to keep pace in the NFC West, the offense must improve. That responsibility falls first on Murray, who will need to find consistency in the pocket and help lift the Cardinals\u2019 passing attack.<\/p>\n<p>More Cardinals news:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL insider blasts Kyler Murray as Cardinals\u2019 offense stalls vs. Seahawks originally appeared on The Sporting News The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[33714,5585,1745,49,48,80234,13294,18826,87368,514,1739,82,81416,44228],"class_list":["post-169695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-albert-breer","tag-arizona","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ernest-jones","tag-kyler-murray","tag-marvin-harrison","tag-missed-opportunities","tag-nfl","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports","tag-the-cardinals","tag-thursday-night-football"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=169695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/169695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=169695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=169695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
