Game result: Arizona fell short in a thriller, 20–23 to Seattle on Thursday night. Kyler Murray threw for 285 yards and 2 touchdowns, including a late TD to tie the game at 20 with 28 seconds left, but Seattle’s Jason Myers nailed a 52-yard field goal as time expired to steal the victory.

Analytics: The Cardinals offense was explosive but inconsistent, generating 365 total yards while Murray connected on clutch throws throughout. The defense held Seattle in check for most of the game but couldn’t prevent the final game-winning drive. Arizona converted 7-of-15 third downs but struggled in the red zone, settling for field goals on two key possessions. The Cardinals’ inability to close out games continues to be a troubling pattern.

Injuries: Marvin Harrison Jr. bounced back from a quiet Week 3 with a strong performance but briefly left the game with a shoulder issue before returning. The offensive line dealt with cramping issues late in the game, which may have impacted the final defensive series.

Betting: Arizona entered as a 1.5-point favorite but failed to cover, dropping to 1-3 ATS on the season. The over (43.5) hit comfortably as both offenses found success through the air.

Fantasy: Kyler Murray remains a solid QB2 with rushing upside, posting 285 passing yards and 2 TDs. Marvin Harrison Jr. delivered WR2 numbers and appears to be finding his rhythm. James Conner’s limited involvement (12 carries, 48 yards) makes him a risky RB2 until the Cardinals commit to the run game.
