Josh Weinfuss ESPN Staff Writer
The Cardinals suffered a major blow when quarterback Kyler Murray went down with an ankle injury at the end of Arizona's first drive and did not return for the rest of the first half, which ended with the Cardinals down 12-7. Chris Streveler took over but the offense was lackluster, gaining just 61 yards - 36 in the first quarter and 25 in the second.
