The Arizona Cardinals’ disaster of a season continued Monday night with a 27-13 loss at home to Mac Jones and the Patriots’ awful offense.
Kyler Murray left the game after suffering a bad knee injury on the team’s first drive of the night and it looks like he’s going to be out for quite some time.
Later in the game we learned something pretty wild about Kliff Kingsbury, whose time with the team could/should be coming to an end soon, and his horrible record with coach’s challenges. Well, also his stunning inability to even challenge a call.
I say this because last night he challenged a call for the first time all season. In Week 14! How is the even possible? He lost the challenge, which wasn’t a surprise because he hasn’t won a challenge since 2019.
2019!
I feel like any nfl coach that waits until week 14 to challenge a call should be fired on general principle alone. pic.twitter.com/rWMmvLwymp

That’s all just bad.
NFL fans ripped him.
"Kliff Kingsbury hasn't won a challenge since 2019" is the most perfect sentence in the history of sentences

Kliff Kingsbury not challenging a play until Week 14, and him not winning a challenge since 2019 – that has to be one of the craziest stats of this NFL season. How?

I'm sorry, Kliff Kingsbury hasn't won a challenge since 2019?!?
That is actually, by definition, unbelievable.

I genuinely did not know that was Kliff Kingsbury’s first challenge of the SEASON! How the hell can that be? #MNF #Cardinals #Patriots

Kliff Kingsbury needs to go! 2nd year in a row with the most penalties. 1-12 home record. 0 playoff wins and 1 playoff appearance. Hasn’t won a challenge since his first year in the league. Has never had a winning record as a coach. He needs to be gone ASAP..

Kliff Kingsbury being 1-4 on challenges in his coaching career just makes too much sense. He is so stupid

Kliff Kingsbury with one of the sharper challenge calls here on a clear cut completion. Guy is too good to be coaching in the NFL.

Did Joe Buck just say Kliff Kingsbury just threw his first challenge flag of the entire season? Is that possible to go 13 weeks without challenging a single play?

Kliff hasn’t won a challenge since 2019? How?
