In a duel between two dissatisfied NFL teams, the Arizona Cardinals won against the New Orleans Saints. Before the 42:34, both teams had only two wins out of six games.
Three misses by Saints quarterback Andy Dalton dashed all hopes of the visitors from New Orleans, as the Cardinals defenders immediately converted two of them for a touchdown. The Cardinals’ most recently criticized playmaker, Kyler Murray, shot clean and had a touchdown pass.
“The defense has got our backs, two touchdowns, that’s huge. We can play a lot better, I can play a lot better,” Murray said.
DeAndre Hopkins, who was suspended for the season for a National Football League doping rule violation, caught ten passes for 103 yards for the Cardinals without a touchdown. “The energy he brings to the field? He’s a special player,” Murray said.
