Arizona Cardinals' Kyler Murray sends message after Green Bay Packers loss

Arizona Cardinals' Kyler Murray sends message after Green Bay Packers loss

GREEN BAY – The Arizona Cardinals were throttled 34-13 by the Green Bay Packers in Week 6 at Lambeau Field, dropping the team's season record to 2-4.

A loss to the Packers – on the road – is nothing to worry about, no matter which team touches the frozen tundra.

What's concerning is how Arizona collapsed – and quite quickly.

The Cardinals turned the ball over three times and committed 13 penalties for 100 yards on the day, a far cry from their previous position as the league's cleanest team when it comes to keeping flags off the field.

Numerous starters like Kyzir White and Marvin Harrison Jr. left as the Cardinals fell to an early 24-0 deficit in the first half.

Although the team showed signs of potential change, Arizona was simply outplayed in every way for 60 minutes.

“We didn’t implement all three phases of the ball. Sloppy turnovers, penalties, misunderstandings. To beat a good team, if we play like that, we won't beat anyone. “We can’t shoot ourselves in the foot against a good team,” Murray told reporters after the game.

When asked about the penalties and ball losses, Murray didn't shy away:

“Untypical. We don't normally do that. Since JG's been here, I haven't felt like we've played a game like this, where we made one mistake after another and didn't take care of the ball. I feel like.” “We were pretty good at taking care of the ball and today we didn't do it. In the NFL, that’s a blow,” he said.

Murray himself didn't have a bad game by any means – he completed 22/32 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown.

There were several misunderstandings and mishaps during the game – even though we're far too far into the regular season for issues like chemistry and unity to be at the forefront.

Murray knows the Cardinals need to get better.

“Frustrating. You know, to be a good team you have to be consistent. I think we just have to look in the mirror. “I don't know what it is, but that can't happen,” Murray said.

“…It's very fixable, but at the end of the day it comes down to making plays – and they made more plays than we did.”

Next up, the Los Angeles Chargers visit State Farm Stadium in Week 7, giving the team a chance to land back in the national spotlight.

“We have Monday Night Football next week against another good team. Nobody flinches – nobody flinches,” Murray said at the podium.

“We are still in the middle of it all. We just have to get better every day and I know we will.”
