With Kyler Murray potential lost for the remainder of the season, there's not much hope for the Cardinals down the stretch
McCoy led the team on three scoring drives on the Cardinals’ first five possessions and they had a 17-3 lead after James Conner’s bulldozing 10-yard touchdown run with 2:59 remaining in the first half. But then the mistakes started piling up and before they knew it, the Cardinals were finished, losing for the seventh time in their last nine games to fall to 4-9 on the season.
“We had some plays this week where we were really trying to get the ball to Trey in certain areas and I missed him twice,” McCoy said, adding, “… I’ve got to be sharper, for sure.” The Cardinals forced a quick three and out on New England’s ensuing possession after the missed opportunity to Brown, but after another penalty, this one for illegal contact, the Hopkins’ catch and fumble occurred. Trying to turn it into a big play, Hopkins carelessly held the ball with an outstretched left hand, and he lost it while being shadowed by safety Kyle Dugger.
The Cardinals couldn’t do that on their next possession, either. On second-and-13 from the Patriots’ 40, McCoy spotted Hopkins open deep down the field, but as he was throwing the ball he got hit by linebacker Josh Uche. As a result, the ball was badly underthrown and it made for an easy interception by Marcus Jones.
