Kyler Murray‘s struggles against the Seattle Seahawks continued Thursday night, falling to 2-9 all-time against the division rival with his eighth consecutive loss. The Cardinals quarterback has now lost eight straight matchups against Seattle, a stark contrast to his undefeated 42-0 record during his high school football career.
The defeat underscores a broader pattern of unfulfilled expectations for the former No. 1 overall pick.While Murray initially secured a lucrative second contract, placing him among the league’s highest-paid quarterbacks, the Cardinals’ performance has stalled. Since drafting Murray, Arizona has reached the playoffs only once, suffering a 34-11 wild-card loss to the Rams in 2021.
Thursday’s game saw the Cardinals’ record plummet from 2-0 to 2-2 in a matter of days, fueling frustration among fans regarding the team’s offensive performance and overall trajectory. The losing streak against seattle began after a period of early career success that warranted his contract extension.
Looking ahead, a potential change of scenery for Murray could be on the horizon as early as 2026, a move that may benefit both the player and the Cardinals organization if the team fails to become a perennial contender.
