“Whenever I feel the dark, drizzly November in my soul, I take to the sea.” (Ishmael, from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick)
Last year by the end of October, after their stunning 37-34 OT win at home versus the Seahawks, the Cardinals were sitting pretty with a 5-2 record.
And then came November —- an agonizing month that, save for the spectacular Hail Murray, the Cardinals suffered through tight losses to the Dolphins, Seahawks and Patriots.
During that painful stretch, Kyler Murray was slowed by a shoulder injury and further thwarted defenses that had now figured out a way to prevent the dynamic, young QB from exploiting them with RPOs.
