Murray posted solid numbers, but the Cardinals' offense never found a way to find the end zone. His sole interception was a 69-yard pick-6 from Coby Bryant. Without that, Arizona would have had a better chance to win the game, but they couldn't do much against a solid Seahawks defense.
The Cardinals scored three points in the second and fourth quarter, respectively, while the Seahawks scored seven in the second and confirmed their win with six and three points in the third and final period.
Kyler Murray shares frustration after losing to the Seahawks
After the Week 12 game was over, Kyler Murray talked with reporters about his disappointing performance. The quarterback was visibly upset with the result and shared his frustrations with reporters.
He said that they put themselves in a complex position and the penalties, turnovers and mistakes that led to points played a role in the final outcome.
The bright side is that the Cardinals are still in the race for the NFC West division, but going from dropping 31 points against the Jets to only scoring six against the Seahawks is something that Murray, Jonathan Gannon and Co. should fix right away.
