A 2-4 start to the Arizona Cardinals season has probably deflated the optimism fans carried after their Week 5 win over the San Francisco 49ers. In their 34-13 loss on Sunday to the Green Bay Packers, the Cardinals not only had three fumbles, they also fumbled away a chance to take the NFC West lead. Had they won the game, their 3-3 mark and 2-0 division record would have had them in first place.
Love to Watson for the deep TD! 😮💨#AZvsGB pic.twitter.com/7bH43tDA4e

Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing could not find a decent play call in the first half. It wasn’t until the Packers had accomplished a 24-0 lead that the Cardinals had a drive last more than five plays.
PRAYERS: #Cardinals rookie standout Marvin Harrison Jr. stood up, stumbled, and then collapsed on the field.

🙏
Hopefully everything will be okay.

After suffering a concussion in the first half of the loss, hopefully wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. can recalibrate and participate in Week 7. Offensively, the Cardinals need to take a deep look into the mirror and conjure up a healthy amount of honor. The 2024 season is slipping right out of the hands of the Cardinals and they were never in the slightest bit competitive today.
