In a disappointing turn of events, the Arizona Cardinals offense struggled in their recent game against the Detroit Lions after a strong start. Despite scoring a touchdown on their opening drive, the offense could not maintain its momentum, only accumulating a total of 205 yards for the rest of the game. Quarterback Kyler Murray, coming off a strong performance in the previous week, struggled with a completion percentage of just 61.2% and threw one interception.
The running game also had difficulties, with James Conner only managing 17 yards on nine carries. However, the Cardinals defense managed to keep the Lions offense in check for most of the game, forcing turnovers and sacks. Despite a setback due to a premature two-minute warning call that nullified a interception return for a touchdown, the defense showed resilience and impact.
Furthermore, the Lions offensive line, which had only allowed two sacks prior to this game, doubled that number as a result of Arizona’s pass rush. Overall, it was a disappointing result for the Cardinals, who were unable to replicate the success of their previous game.
