If there is one player the Arizona Cardinals heavily depend on as they face the upcoming challenges of the NFL regular season, it is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyler Murray</a>. The starting quarterback will not take the field today, as the Cardinals prepare to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 7.



After a string of struggling performances in their recent games, the Cardinals are presented with another opportunity to set things right against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Packers</a>. While Green Bay is experiencing a different dynamic this season in terms of performance, a victory would significantly bolster their prospects of securing a playoff spot by the end of the regular season.



As anticipation builds for this Arizona-based matchup, the fan base is eagerly awaiting the team’s lineup announcement to find out who will be the starting quarterback today amidst the swirling rumors around Murray leading up to this crucial game.



While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a>‘ fans await this news, the Packers have already acknowledged that several players are listed as questionable. However, in the latest injury report, it is noted that Lukas Van Ness and Christian Watson have been ruled out due to foot and knee injuries, respectively.

<h2>Why is Murray not playing today for Cardinals vs. Packers?</h2>



Kyler Murray is inactive today as the Arizona Cardinals take on the Green Bay Packers, due to his foot injury has not yet healed. The team announced that Jacoby Brissett will step in as the starting quarterback today in Arizona.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kyler-murrays-future-likely-to-be-away-from-cardinals"></div>

 


With this decision reported, the fan base is anticipating the best from Brissett, who will play his second game of the season as the Cardinals’ starting quarterback. If he demonstrate his ability to lead the team against the Packers, it might create a competitive atmosphere for the QB1 position ahead of the upcoming regular season challenges.



<h2>When is Murray set to play again with the Cardinals?</h2>



According to a report from Pro Football Rumors, Kyler Murray might return post-bye week, potentially making his comeback in November against the Dallas Cowboys.



With this outlook, the Cardinals are expected to make the most of their current situation, as Brissett could prove to be a valuable asset while Murray is sidelined. Meanwhile, the Packers remain determined to continue their stellar performances and secure victories en route to the playoffs.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love">Jordan Love</a> is looking to win a second consecutive game with the Green Bay Packers to try and build a winning streak, but his efforts could be complicated by the potential absence of running back Josh Jacobs, whose status for the game against the Arizona Cardinals is now a last-minute decision.



“Packers RB Josh Jacobs, listed as questionable for Sunday due to illness and a calf injury, is now being considered a ‘true game-time decision’ for Sunday’s matchup vs. the Cardinals, per source,” reported Adam Schefter on X regarding Jacobs’ uncertain status.



Schefter added that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Packers</a> already have a replacement option lined up to assist Love: “The team says it does not expect to know whether he can play until Sunday. If Jacobs is unable to play, Packers RB Emanuel Wilson would be the expected starter.”



<h2>Can Wilson fill the void leftt by Jacobs?</h2>



Regarding the situation if Jacobs is unable to play, Nathan Jahnke of PFF commented that Wilson would not be alone in covering Jacobs’ workload. He noted that Chris Brooks could also step up to assist Love in gaining rushing yards.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">PSYCHO: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Packers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Packers</a> star running back Josh Jacobs has gone viral for LAUGHING as he got hit and crushed by defenders throughout the game. 😳😳😳 This is not normal human behavior. <a href="https://t.co/wIlvOTP45H">pic.twitter.com/wIlvOTP45H</a>— MLFootball (@_MLFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/_MLFootball/status/1977842791066845402?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



“If Josh Jacobs can’t play, I’d expect roughly 60-65% Emmanuel Wilson, 35-40% Chris Brooks. Brooks was playing ahead of Wilson the first two weeks of the season, but it’s been more Wilson than Brooks since Week 3,” Jahnke wrote on X.



An important statistic highlighting the Packers’ season thus far was offered by Rob Demovsky of ESPN: “The Packers are the only team in the NFL that has led by double digits in every game this season. But they’re also the only team that has lost to the Browns and barely managed a tie vs. the Cowboys.”



Given the Packers’ documented issues with closing out games, the potential absence of Jacobs likely means Love and the entire offense will struggle to be as productive on Sunday and in any other games where their star running back is sidelined.

Jordan Love could lose key Packers weapon ahead of Cardinals matchup

Jordan Love could lose key Packers weapon ahead of Cardinals matchup - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Bay Packers</a> are facing the Arizona Cardinals this week and while teams are looking for a win, the Cheeseheads are looking for justice as they think Micah Parsons is not getting clear calls from the referees.



In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/micah-parsons" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parsons</a> didn’t hold back when speaking to the media. “There are parts that you hate, and the parts that the league lets go. You can tell how they call the games… We know what they’re trying to do. They want to load the points up so fans can be happy. They’ll call defensive holding, but they won’t call offensive holding. Let’s just wake up. It’s just one of those things that we know what the higher-ups is trying to do.“



Whether those words will cause a fine from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> or not remains to be seen but Parsons sounded off on refereeing. Parsons also accused the NFL on protecting the offense but not the defense. He advocated for a change of rules.



<h2>LaFleur also spoke on the matter</h2>



Reportedly, the Packers are “frustrated” over plenty of missed “blatant, egregious” holding penalties against Micah Parsons. Speaking to Ryan Wood of USA Today, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-lafleur" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matt LaFleur</a> said, “That’s definitely going to be a conversation [between him and refs] pregame,” regarding the situation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251016_BUS_510525_Matt-LaFleu-1024x576_614eb714.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers" class="wp-image-309369" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers</figcaption></figure>



LaFleur is classy but does have a temper. You can only imagine that if he talks to the officials and a call is clearly missed, he will lose it. Parsons had an 11-game stretch last year where he didn’t get any holding calls. LaFleur clearly doesn’t want that to repeat this time around.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jordan-love-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Parsons should feast against the Cardinals</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona</a> is the fifth-team with more sacks allowed this year in the NFL. Parsons should be salivating at the opportunity to make life a living hell for the opposing quarterback. 



Parsons has 2.5 sacks this year in five games played. However, he is rushing the quarterback as he has 8 QB hits. If the holdings were not happening, he might have even more sacks, but he has the opportunity to be a game-wrecker on Sunday.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> are in desperate need for new players but signing a player who just played for the team you’re facing this week is not that common. However, they just did that as they prepare to compete against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.



Cardinals signed tight end Josiah Deguara who was a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Packers</a>‘ third-round pick back in 2020. The signing comes from the team’s practice squad after signing with the Cardinals for a year in May.



Arizona needed help on the position as they placed Travis Vokolek in season-ending injured reserve. He suffered a neck injury. Thankfully, the Cardinals are looking more for depth on the roster.



<h2>Their TE1 is one of the NFL’s best</h2>



The best tight end on the team is one of the best in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Trey McBride is an absolute monster. In 2023, he put the league on notice gettin 825 yards but 2024 he rose to superstardom. Last season, he was a Pro Bowler and had 111 catches for 1,146 yards and two touchdowns.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251016_BUS_510465_Trey-McBride-2-1024x576_10613c47.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Trey McBride #85 of the Arizona Cardinals" class="wp-image-369929" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Trey McBride #85 of the Arizona Cardinals</figcaption></figure>



In 2025, McBride already has 37 catches for 347 yards and already tied last season’s touchdowns tally. He is by far the best weapon on the team. He is more used as a receiver, while new signing Deguara will provide additional blocking.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/former-cardinals-coach-reveals-how-marvin-harrison-jr-can-overcome-rough-start"></div>


<h2>Cardinals vs Packers is a great tight end matchup</h2>



McBride is in fact a top-tier tight end but the Packers have a great tight end too. Tucker Kraft has 268 yards already this season and three touchdowns. He serves as J<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ordan Love</a>‘s safety target.



Kraft is also safe for Love. Out of his 22 targets, he’s caught 18 passes and is averaging a career-high 14.9 targets per reception. It will be interesting to monitor the tight end duel in this game.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-lafleur" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matt LaFleur</a>, the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, is gearing up for the upcoming NFL regular-season clash against the Arizona Cardinals. With the Packers holding a record of 3-1-1 through five games, his primary focus is on securing a win. Ahead of this matchup, LaFleur delivered a stern reminder to quarterback Jordan Love and the rest of the Packers’ roster.



“They are playing well. You can’t get too lost in the win-loss record. This is a team that has lost four games in a row by nine points,” LaFleur told the media. “This is a good football team. And we better be ready to play.”



With this message, the coach underscores his singular focus: defeating the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a>. Despite the Cardinals’ struggles in certain matchups and their 2-4 record, LaFleur views this game as a prime opportunity to lock in a crucial regular-season victory, essential for playoff contention.



LaFleur is counting on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jordan-love" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jordan Love</a>, who has consistently delivered outstanding performances this season, accumulating over 1,200 passing yards, nine passing touchdowns, and achieving 57 first downs. With Love at the helm, the head coach aims to make a significant impact in the regular season, fully aware of the challenges that lie ahead.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251016_BUS_510288_Jordan-Love-and-Matt-LaFleur-1024x576_78a14b74.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers celebrates with Jordan Love #10 after a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks during the first quarter of the game at Lumen Field on December 15, 2024 in Seattle, Washington." class="wp-image-362055" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers celebrates with Jordan Love.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>LaFleur’s comments on Jacoby Brissett’s impact</h2>



When asked about the potential impact of Jacoby Brissett in upcoming games, following his replacement of Kyler Murray due to a foot injury in the last matchup, LaFleur highlighted the importance of adaptable play.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/matt-lafleur-admits-mistakes-after-packers-tie-against-the-cowboys-in-micah-parsons-return-to-dallas-the-play-calls-sucked"></div>

 


“Jacoby went in there and was very productive,” remarked LaFleur. “We all know the type of player Kyler is because he can make the on-schedule and the off-schedule plays. It’s going to be a little more on our players’ plate, but that’s just the situation, and that’s what we’ve got to do,” LaFleur explained to the media.



<h2>LaFleur’s comments on the importance of this game</h2>



The significance of Sunday’s game extends beyond just the type of rival the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Packers</a> will face. Winning is crucial for their standings as they aim to secure a playoff spot early to circumvent challenges in the regular season.



LaFleur acknowledged the stakes, stating, “I don’t think we’ve played a complete game to date. We’ve had moments in each phase that have been really good. But to do it collectively for four quarters? I don’t think we’ve done that. And we’re going to need to do that against a really strong football team.“

Not Jordan Love: Micah Parsons reveals the Packers’ most promising player this NFL season

NFL News: Matt LaFleur drops strong reminder to Jordan Love, Packers ahead of Cardinals game - Bolavip US

After a promising 2-0 start to the season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> have lost four consecutive games, including one last-second duel against the Tennessee Titans despite entering the fourth quarter up 21-6.&nbsp;



The Cardinals are two steps behind the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West, and many are suggesting they need to part ways with their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray.&nbsp;



Murray has gone 110 of 161 for 962 yards and six touchdowns against three interceptions this season. He missed the Indianapolis Colts game in Week 6, but Jacoby Brissett held his own, going 27 of 44 for 320 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp;



While the Cardinals lost 31-27, this game opened the door for a change at State Farm Stadium.



<h2>Analyst says Kyler Murray should be better off away from Cardinals&nbsp;</h2>



Alex Kay of Bleacher Report wrote recently that seeing Murray on a different team wouldn’t be crazy, although he’s under contract through 2027.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251015_BUS_509849_Kyler-Murray-quarterback-for-the-Arizona-Cardinals-1024x576_088cc850.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals." class="wp-image-472696" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kyler Murray, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.</figcaption></figure>



“The team just proved it can perform competitively without him,” Kay wrote. “The bounty of picks the Cardinals would receive in return would allow them to expedite a rebuilding process. A trade could benefit Murray as well. With blunders like the public spat leading up to his contract extension and the “homework clause” initially inserted into his new deal, it feels like the QB and his employer haven’t been able to get on the same page. A move to another franchise could help him take a leap into the upper echelon of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> signal-callers.”



Arizona will try to get back to winning ways against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. Kyler Murray is listed as questionable after missing the Colts duel.

Kyler Murray's future likely to be away from Cardinals - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a>‘ best wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. suffered a big-time blow that left him out of the game with a concussion. The Indianapolis Colts will have to deal with other Cardinals’ weapons but what are those?



Michael Wilson and Zay Jones are the ones called to serve as the next best weapons. Then, Greg Dortch and Simi Fehoko complete the Cardinals’ depth chart at wide receiver.



Harrison is the best receiver on the team but Michael Wilson has showed lots of talent too. Dortch is capable of making explosive plays but he is not a volume guy. However, between them they could be able to provide depth for the team.



<h2>Do the Cardinals look better with Brissett?</h2>



Harrison was out of the game due to a concussion but the Cardinals also had to deal with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyler Murray</a> not being able to play and going with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251012_BUS_507764_jacoby-brissett-1024x576_0911c8f5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals" class="wp-image-507635" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals</figcaption></figure>



Bear in mind, it was a 4-1 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> team, not easy. Brissett was able to move the chains easily even after Harrison was injured. Murray’s offense never looked this fluid so Brissett’s recklessness was exactly what the team needed.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/kyler-murray-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Cardinals vs Colts coaching duel had a back story</h2>



Cardinals’ head coach Jonathan Gannon goes way back with Colts’ head coach Shane Steichen. Both were coordinators on the Philadelphia Eagles’ team that reached the Super Bowl two years ago. After that, Gannon, who served as DC went to Arizona and Steichen, OC, went to the Colts.



It’s no surprise the game was very close, they know each other very well, have shared plenty of experiences and practices with one another. Hence, they know strengths and weaknesses better than anyone. It was a chess game of the highest of levels.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyler Murray</a> was reported as an inactive player today as the Arizona Cardinals face the Indianapolis Colts. Hence, many are wondering who will play quarterback for the team since it was almost a last minute issue that made Murray unable to play.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a> will trust NFL veteran Jacoby Brissett to take the lead as the team looks to pull an upset against a very good team like the Colts. Brissett is a very different QB than Murray, but he can also bring some wild factor into the game that could be just the irreverence they need to get a needed win. 



Murray is dealing with a foot injury he suffered last week during the team’s loss to the Tennessee Titans. While the team remained hopes for Murray to play, eventually the QB couldn’t make it and the Cardinals opted to go with Brissett.



<h2>What does Brissett brings to the table?</h2>



One of the biggest strengths of Brissett is his arm. He can launch the football deep so that’s a new dimension the Cardinals will have. He has a career 61% completion with 53 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. He is erratic, but he is also somewhat unpredictable.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251012_BUS_507610_jacoby-brissett-1024x576_ca2f728e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals" class="wp-image-507635" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals</figcaption></figure>



He is also mobile, as he has almost 1,000 yards rushing in his career with 15 rushing touchdowns. Brissett is regarded as one of the best backups in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Can he beat his former team this Sunday? Who knows, but he will throw caution to the wind for sure. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/trey-mcbride-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Colts also moved the QB room</h2>



Don’t worry <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> fans, Daniel Jones will start this game. However, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the team moved Anthony Richardson to QB3 and made him inactive for this game. The reason is that Richardson suffered an eye injury in pregame warmups.



Richardson lost the starting job to Jones and the Colts have thrived. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jones</a> has been able to be reliable and actually very good. The Colts are one of the most pleasant surprises in the NFL.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyler-murray" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyler Murray</a> and the Arizona Cardinals are at a critical juncture, needing victories in the upcoming weeks to keep pace with rival teams and secure a playoff berth this season. Following a disappointing performance against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5, today’s game against the Indianapolis Colts represents a crucial opportunity for the Cardinals to recalibrate and regain momentum.



It’s shaping up to be a formidable contest. The Colts have surged to a strong 4-1 record in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> regular season, while the Cardinals have managed two wins alongside three losses. With this context, Cardinals fans are hopeful their roster will remain resilient, providing the foundation for crucial victories in the coming weeks.



The Arizona camp faced significant criticism regarding their execution against the Titans. Fumbles and costly errors marred what was an otherwise promising outing, ultimately resulting in a narrow one-point loss that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a>‘ faithful endured in Week 5.



While such struggles continue for the Cardinals, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> narrative is starkly different, co-leading the AFC South standings with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Week 6 contest serves as a pivotal occasion for the Colts to sustain their impressive run and reinforce their Super Bowl credentials.

<h2>Why is Murray not playing today for Cardinals vs Colts?</h2>



Kyler Murray will not take the field today for the Arizona Cardinals vs Indianapolis Colts due to a confirmed injury. As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and then confirmed by the team, Murray will continue to recover from his injury, with his return date remaining uncertain for now.

In Murray’s absence, the Cardinals face the significant challenge of containing the Colts’ potent offense, spearheaded by the standout duo of Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.



<h2>Who is replacing Murray today for Cardinals vs Colts?</h2>



Jacoby Brissett is stepping in for Kyler Murray today. In his debut start this season, Brissett has the chance to impress and demonstrate to his former team the depth of his capabilities and what he can offer.



With this scenario, fans anticipate a distinct matchup dynamic, as the Cardinals adjust to playing without their star quarterback and the Colts aim to solidify their playoff aspirations with another victory.

Jonathan Gannon’s sideline altercation with running back Emari Demercado caused a stir around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The coach was fuming after Demercado dropped the ball moments before he scored a 70-plus touchdown against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.&nbsp;



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> lost the game 22-21 in the final seconds, which only made things worse for the fans. Gannon discussed his behavior on Monday, admitting that he felt bad for treating Demercado that way.&nbsp;



“Yeah, I woke up this morning and didn’t feel great about it, honestly,” Gannon said. “So in the team meeting, I addressed it. I apologized to Emari, apologized to the team and I just told them I kind of let the moment of what happened get the better of me there.”



Although he apologized, the Cardinals still punished him for his behavior.&nbsp;



<h2>Dez Bryant calls out Cardinals over Jonathan Gannon fine&nbsp;</h2>



Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant disagreed with the Cardinals’ decision to fine Gannon $100,000 for his actions during Sunday’s game. He took to social media to voice his frustrations.

“I don’t agree with the Cardinals fining Coach Gannon $100k,” Bryant wrote. “I believe it only happened because of the soft a*** world that we live in today … If you’re an athlete with any kind of integrity and respect for the game… You’ll understand the situation… This football.. that play clearly cost them the game… I hope this doesn’t cause a weird vibe between the coach Gannon and Demercado.”



The Cardinals dropped to 2-3 after suffering their third consecutive loss following a 2-0 start. Gannon and Co. have work to do since this wasn’t the first one-possession loss they suffered this season.&nbsp;

Making a legacy in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is no easy feat. In fact, it’s incredibly hard. Then, having a son be a top-tier pick in the draft it’s also incredible. Now, said son, Marvin Harrison Jr., is scheduled to visit the Indianapolis Colts, where his father made history. With all this in mind, the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver opened up about his feelings towards this game.



Speaking to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Harrison Jr. said “It’s going to be&nbsp;a special game&nbsp;for me, for sure.” His dad was a Super Bowl champion and multiple time Pro Bowler and All Pro with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> back in the day. A Hall of Famer, Marvin Harrison Sr. is regarded as one of the best wideouts of all time and his connection with Peyton Manning was incredibly good.



Harrison Jr.’s career hasn’t started as hoped. He was one of the best wide receiving prospects of all time out of Ohio State. Also, being the son of an NFL legend, his stock was at an all-time high. However, while he has shown big glimpses of his talent, he hasn’t been able to dominate like his father did.



<h2>Harrison Sr. is Colts’ royalty</h2>



Marvin Harrison Sr. played 13 years in the NFL after getting picked 19th overall in the 1996 NFL Draft. During his 13 seasons with the Colts, he was an eight-time Pro Bowler, three-time first team All Pro and led the league in receiving yards and receptions twice.

Harrison had the two best features a wideout can have, great routes and great hands. It also helped Peyton Manning was his quarterback, but Harrison would’ve worked regardless. He was that good.

<h2>Marvin Harrison Jr. has the talent, lacks the consistency</h2>



When you see Marvin Harrison Jr. play, it can be frustrating at times. It’s very clear he has the talent to be a an all world receiver for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cardinals</a>, but he will have lapses where his focus isn’t there. He will drop an easy ball on one play, then moss two defenders on the next one. He is a rollercoaster.



Harrison ended his rookie season with 885 yards and eight touchdowns but only on 53.4% of passes caught. This year, he hasn’t had a 100-yard game yet but is fresh off his best performance against the Titans, where he had four catches in five targets for 98 yards.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> coach Jonathan Gannon reflected on his viral moment with running back Emari Demercado after the player dropped the ball right before he scored a 72-yard touchdown rushing.



The play ended in a touchback, and the Cardinals lost the possession. Arizona lost the game 22-21 in the last second, despite entering the fourth quarter with a 21-6 lead.&nbsp;



Gannon was caught berating Demercado on the sidelines after the play in a moment that went viral.



<h2>Jonathan Gannon apologizes for the outburst on Emari Demercado&nbsp;</h2>



In the wake of the incident, Gannon apologized for his behavior and admitted he wasn’t proud of the way he acted. Demercado carried the ball three times for 81 yards and no touchdowns. The Cardinals couldn’t close the deal and left the door open for the Titans to snatch the first win of the season.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251008_BUS_505426_Jonathan-Gannon-Arizona-Cardinals-NFL-2023-1024x572_180866d5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Jonathan Gannon - Arizona Cardinals - NFL 2023" class="wp-image-11038" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jonathan Gannon – Arizona Cardinals – NFL 2023</figcaption></figure>



“Yeah, I woke up this morning and didn’t feel great about it, honestly,” Gannon said. “So in the team meeting, I addressed it. I apologized to Emari, apologized to the tea,m and I just told them I kind of let the moment of what happened get the better of me there.”



“Obviously, I try to be emotionally stable and calm because my job is to solve problems during a game, and kind of lead the charge on that. So it’s not really who I am, who I want to be, and I told the guys that today. So it’s a mistake by me, and it’s just like everybody in there, everybody made some type of mistake yesterday, which culminates to why we didn’t win the game, and we can’t let it happen moving forward,” he added.



The Cardinals will go against another AFC South team in Week 6, as they visit the Indianapolis Colts in Lucas Oil Stadium.&nbsp;

<a href="http://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> running back Emari Demercado made the headlines on Sunday, and not for the best reasons. The third-year veteran has seen his role on offense increase after James Conner suffered a season-ending foot injury in Week 3.&nbsp;



Demercado and Co. appeared to be headed to an easy win against the 0-4 Tennessee Titans, but the AFC South team escaped State Farm Stadium with a last-second 22-21 victory on Sunday.&nbsp;



The running back starred in one of the most controversial moments of the game and the season when he broke loose and ran 70 yards for what seemed to be an easy touchdown. What nobody expected was that he would drop the ball near the goal line, with the play being ruled a touchback. After the game, Demercado reflected on the play and took all the blame for it.&nbsp;&nbsp;



“I mean, it’s just a mistake. There’s really no excuse,” Demercado said. “You just have to. Can’t get it back. Nothing I can do about it, so why keep holding on to it?”



<h2>Kurt Warner defended Emari Demercado after big blunder&nbsp;</h2>



Demercado was on the receiving end of criticism over this mistake. Former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner responded to all the people bashing the running back, reminding people that nobody is exempt from making mistakes.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="631" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251007_BUS_504817_kurt_warner_at_the_2003_season_with_the_ramsx_two_years_later_he_lost_a_super_bowl_against_the_patriots_xfutbolsitesxjpg_242310155-1024x631_f5e0d228.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=631" alt="" class="wp-image-184233" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Kurt Warner </figcaption></figure>



“So today the media is going to fire a young man for one mistake (albeit a BIG one)!!! Can we just be better &amp; remember that BIG mistake we made that we learned from so it wouldn’t happen again &amp; made us who we are!!!” Warner wrote.



Many called for Demercado to be benched after this mistake, but Warner is riding with the RB. The Cardinals are 2-3 after this game and will try to bounce back against the inspired Indianapolis Colts, as visitors.

The debut of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cam-ward" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cam Ward</a> in the NFL has not been great, but it could get even worse this week. The quarterback needs to defeat the Arizona Cardinals if he wants to avoid making unfortunate history with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a>.



Cam Ward entered the NFL as the first overall pick in the 2025 draft. The Titans see him as the franchise quarterback they have been waiting for, but the results have not gone their way so far.



Now, in Week 5, they face the Cardinals and once again are not the favorites to win. However, Ward may have extra motivation for this matchup, as a defeat would place his name in the wrong side of the record books.



<h2>Titans need a win in Week 5 against Cardinals to avoid historic blunder</h2>



The Tennessee Titans are not having the 2025 NFL season they expected with Ward under center. The AFC South team hasn’t won a single game this campaign, and Week 5 could extend the losing streak.



For their fifth game of the year, the Titans face the Cardinals in Arizona. The home team is favored, while Tennessee risks making history for all the wrong reasons if they leave Phoenix with another loss.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/cam-ward-claps-back-at-critics-after-nsfw-comments"></div>


The franchise hasn’t dropped 11 straight games since becoming the Titans. A defeat on Sunday would mark that unwanted milestone, and although Ward isn’t solely responsible, all eyes would inevitably fall on him.



The last time the franchise lost 11 in a row, they were still the Houston Oilers. That skid ran from Week 5 against the Steelers through Week 16 against the Chiefs in 1994, before they finally ended the slump with a season-finale victory over the Jets.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is going through a rough patch in only his second season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals’</a> wide receiver has failed to make an impact on the team after an inconsistent rookie season, in which he caught 62 passes on 116 targets for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.&nbsp;



This campaign hasn’t been much different, with Harrison catching 16 passes on 27 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns. 



The former Ohio State star has been on the receiving end of criticism, but many are still confident that he can turn things around.&nbsp;



<h2>Former Cardinals coach details how he would work with Marvin Harrison Jr.&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



Todd Haley, former Cardinals offensive coordinator (2007-08), talked with insider Kyle Odegard to discuss Harrison’s tough start. Haley insisted that the coaches and the quarterback must keep Harrison in the loop and give him targets so he can increase his confidence.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="580" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251003_BUS_502776_marvin-harrison-cardinals-1024x580_31e635ad.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=580" alt="Marvin Harrison Jr. is the best receiver on the Cardinals&apos; roster" class="wp-image-422445" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marvin Harrison Jr. #18 of the Arizona Cardinals </figcaption></figure>



“The quarterback generally wants to throw it to the guy he can trust, so (Harrison, Jr.) has to hold up his end of the bargain, but when guys know the ball is going to keep coming, it takes a little pressure off them and they start to gain confidence. If I’m game-planning, every play the first read would start with him. It’s not going to go to him every time, because the defense can dictate that, but (I’d try). (Trey) McBride is awesome. I think he’s great. But the ball is going to come to him naturally as things break down. That’s the way it works for tight ends. He’s going to get his 8, 10, 12 targets organically with how the game plays out,” he said.



Malik Nabers, for example, was targeted 35 times before he went down with a season-ending injury against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The Cardinals have other solid pass catchers, but if they count on Harrison to lead their receiving corps for many years, it’s time to put more attention on him.&nbsp;
