The Arizona Cardinals aren’t a frequent opponent for our Buffalo Bills, but that’s who we’re facing to start the 2024 season. Last season the Cardinals were not a force to be reckoned with, finishing with a record of 4-12. Starting quarterback Kyler Murray missed the first half of the season and objectively the team was much better when he returned. Their better stretch resulted in 3-5.
Regarding Murray specifically, despite having a first-year head coach in Jonathan Gannon he had a pretty typical Kyler Murray season. I’ll sprinkle in some stats below, but the bottom line is that statistically a “pretty typical Kyler Murray season” is outside the league’s elite.
