Arizona Cardinals fall short of predictions, succumb to Jacksonville Jaguars, 238.32-185.14

There's no way around it, Arizona Cardinals underdelivered, at least according to projections, as Jacksonville Jaguars earned a 238.32-185.14 win. Jacksonville Jaguars never trailed in this one after earning a 6.00-point lead on Thursday behind Dustin Hopkins. Kyler Murray (26.84 points) and Christian Kirk (25.8) led the charge for Arizona Cardinals in the loss. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) will look to sustain their momentum against Chicago Bears, while Arizona Cardinals (0-2) will match up against Cincinnati Bengals in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Jacksonville Jaguars
Whoa, the Colts defense didn't stand a chance! 25 completions on 30 attempts... good enough for an 83 percent completion percentage for Trevor Lawrence. We know the GM of Jacksonville Jaguars is thankful for the attention to detail.
Arizona Cardinals
Unless Arizona Cardinals wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is not a valid excuse this week. Our eight pass-catchers (six WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in just 19 receptions.
