The Cardinals’ first half was a train wreck, and it somehow managed to end even uglier than it started. Down 14-3 to the Seahawks, their offense sputtered, their defense bent, and then Kyler Murray capped things off by getting sacked again: courtesy of Seahawks’ defensive end Leonard Williams. Arizona burned a timeout with two ticks left, and the home crowd let them have it with boos pouring down. And HC Jonathan Gannon was quick to point fingers.

“We’re getting killed in the explosive play battle, so we got to do a better job on defense of stopping them, and then we got to generate some on offense. But on offense, we got to get in rhythm. … They’re all playmakers. We got to get them the ball, get them in space, and get going,” Gannon said.

The Cardinals’ offense has been asked questions ever since that 16-15 loss to the 49ers. And understandably so. They only accounted for 260 total yards in San Francisco, and have yet to record more than 300 yards since the season started. Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing is under pressure. And it feels like the Seahawks’ game is only going to increase that.

Yes, it seems unlikely that they’ll record more than 250 yards tonight. Up until halftime, they have only accounted for 107 yards. And quarterback Kyler Murray is one of the reasons why. He went into half-time having completed only 14/23 passes for 83 yards, 2 interceptions, and a passer rating of 31.6. This is a problem. And so is his connection (or the lack of it with Marvin Harrison Jr.)

Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. aren’t clicking

If you looked at that quarterback-wide receiver connection between Murray and Harrison, you’ll start to wonder if they even practice together. Last week wasn’t exactly Marvin Harrison Jr.’s highlight reel. He had a gift-wrapped deep ball from Kyler Murray and flat-out dropped it.

And it seems like it wasn’t a one-off case. He gave up a turnover tonight. Harrison had a perfect ball zip right into his hands over the middle, and he bobbled it. When he tried to corral it, the ball popped up and gift-wrapped itself straight into the arms of Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV for an interception.

These drops are obviously more on him than they are on Murray, but this is not about playing the blame game. It points to a broader concern about Murray and Harrison’s chemistry. The two just haven’t clicked yet.

Cardinals are still 2-1 right now (looks like it’s going to be 2-2 tonight). But these two need to work it out. Harrison Jr. is still a second-year player, and there’s a high ceiling that needs to be climbed. And it all starts with developing that trust with his quarterback. Let’s see if they can work it out in the second half.
