Cardinals' Kyler Murray in disbelief over way team lost: 'We just gotta play better'
Murray was stunned at the end of the game and through the press conference afterward
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Arizona Cardinals star Kyler Murray nearly led the team on a game-winning drive but was upended by an apparent brain dud from wide receiver A.J. Green at the very end of the game.
Green seemingly wasn’t looking for the football when Murray threw it toward him. Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas tipped the ball to himself and completed the interception. Douglas celebrated with the group of Packers fans while Murray lay on the ground in disbelief.
