The Arizona Cardinals just kept on rolling, eviscerating the New York Jets 31-6 to win their fourth straight game.
Kyler Murray was magnificent for Arizona, fueling the Cardinals to 0.416 EPA per play and a staggering 7.0 yards per play. The Jets repeatedly failed to get off the field, allowing the Cardinals to convert 71% of third-down tries and surrendering 13 explosive plays.
Meanwhile, New York — which fell to 3-7 — averaged a measly 3.7 yards per play and suffered from multiple fourth-down mistries. Aaron Rodgers went just 23-for-38 for 169 yards and a turnover-worthy play.
