The Arizona Cardinals showcased a strong first half against the Buffalo Bills, leading 17-3 at one point. James Conner's early touchdown set the tone for Arizona's offense, which operated smoothly under quarterback Kyler Murray. Despite a setback in the second half, Murray's progress was evident as he adjusted to offensive coordinator Drew Petzing's system post-injury.
However, the Cardinals struggled to maintain momentum later in the game, ultimately losing 34-28, with a lack of explosive plays contributing to their downfall.
