Avoiding a Trap
“I’m very confident that it’s not a trap game because, mentally, that could never be a thing because of where we are,” Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray said. "Our back is against the wall, we understand that. I think in order for it to be a trap game, our record would have to be better. We’d have to be feeling not humble. We understand what’s at stake and we understand it’s each week for us, so we have to go play our best on the road.”
Carolina (3-11) find itself in a familiar situation, playing out the string in a sixth straight season of double-digit losses under owner David Tepper.
“We’re still in pursuit of just capturing our style of football: great effort, great enthusiasm, with our guys celebrating each other,” first-year Panthers coach Dave Canales said. “I’ve seen that grow."
Our Pick
We are on the Arizona Cardinals here at -4.5.
