27. Arizona Cardinals (25)

First overall pick Kyler Murray is still looking for his first win in the NFL as he and the Arizona Cardinals are now 0-2-1 after dropping their Week 3 contest to the Carolina Panthers at home. Facing backup quarterback Kyle Allen, the Cards spent the majority of the game trying to come from behind and couldn’t get it done.

Some seem to think that’s on Murray as Josh Weinfuss of ESPN said his inability to keep the chains moving led to the loss.

"“After an impressive first drive, when Murray mixed in runs and plays with his feet with a variety of different passes, Murray struggled with making sound decisions, often holding on to the ball too long — which resulted in eight sacks — or making ill-advised throws. He threw two interceptions and two touchdowns to go along with 173 yards on 30-for-43 passing. He also ran for a team-high 69 yards, making defenders miss with his feet.” — Weinfuss, ESPN"

Weinfuss said that while he did show some explosiveness with his legs, Murray simply can’t get the mix of pass and rush down enough to keep moving the ball as his team needed him to. That’s clearly not the only reason they’re still looking for a win though as the defense has had more than their share of issues as well.
