Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was seen yelling at wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on the sideline during the Week 9 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The game was played at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
Watch:
The incident happened during the second quarter of the game when the Seahawks were up 10-7.
The argument between the QB-WR could be a result of a missed touchdown opportunity in their last drive which ended with a punt. The Cardinals had possession of the ball for 3:38 minutes for a total of just five plays where they could only get 14 yards in their opponent’s zone.
The home team has not had a great year this time around after getting into the post-season last time around. They were, however, defeated in the Divisional playoffs by the eventual Super Bowl Champs, Los Angeles Rams.
Kyler Murray signed a five-year $230.5 million contract that included a $160 million guarantee in the off-season. He along with the team hoped for a better record at this point of the season. But currently, the team is 3-5 and at the bottom of a difficult NFC West division.
The Arizona Cardinals offense’s frustration has been very apparent for everybody to see. The team has failed to score an offensive touchdown two times this season. They have also scored over 30 points just once in this campaign.
Fans had various reactions to the altercation.
A Twitter user wrote, “Kyler seems like he’d be an annoying team-mate.”
Another one added, ” “You’re meant to break deep there. I saw it in my 4 hours of homework”.
This was in relation to the clause that was initially added to the QB’s contract which required four hours of film study in a week but was later removed after criticism from the fans.
