You have to send more than four at him from time to time. He gets too comfortable. They did bait him into three interceptions though. One of which was inside the endzone.

For me it's going to boil down to Lloyd, Oluokon and Cisco. Those three guys have to be on point 99.9% of the time when they're on the football field. If they can make the middle difficult for him they'll more than likely runaway with this football game at some point.

There's a few of those passes I think should have went elsewhere as well.  One in particular was the 2nd or 3rd clip that resulted in a TD.  It was a high risk throw into coverage that paid off, but the underneath crossing route was wide open on soft coverage with room to run probably to the 5 yard line.  It was a much safer throw.  Nobody is gonna get beat up over a TD throw, but perhaps evidence that he lives a little dangerously.  No doubt he's playing above his experience level and the clean pockets contribute to that I'm sure.  But yes, it looked like the cardinals were content to rush 4 from those clips.  The coverages seemed tighter as the clips moved forward.  Do we know if the clips are in chronological order?

That I don't know. But, if you go on YouTube and look up the highlights from that game it goes in chronological order. It's the easiest way to see where a lot of teams get their lucky breaks and tendencies from. I really felt like Arizona had a chance. I feel like they let Houston get away with a defensive encroachment or neutral zone infraction on Murray's last pass attempt to finish the game. 

It's amazing how lucky they have been this year. Two games easily could have and probably should have went the other way had Tampa Bay had their [BLEEP] together late and had Arizona not had a goofy punt bounce off of their gunner running downfield. [BLEEP] happens. Good teams take advantage of your mistakes. 

That's what they're doing right now. I just hope we thump the hell out of them and put this little cinderella story to bed like sleeping beauty. Sick of hearing about them.
