After Kyler Murray’s solid preseason debut, hopes were high going into last Thursday’s game against the Raiders. Cardinals fans were hoping to see the kid gloves come off a bit against a team that was one of the worst in the league last season. Kyler and the Redbirds had a golden opportunity to make a statement in a nationally televised matchup.
Well, things obviously didn’t go as planned. The first team looked brutal in just about all facets of the game.
In particular, Kyler looked terrible. The stats tell most of the story: 3/8 for a piddling 12 yards and two sacks taken (one for a safety).
