For any team in the NFL, one of the hardest things to deal with is a team with a highly touted rookie quarterback who suddenly has reason to believe. Coming off a thrilling win over the Cincinnati Bengals a week ago with one of the best performances ever seen by a rookie quarterback, the Washington Commanders are riding high as a full-throated Jayden Daniels Mania takes over the franchise, which is at 2-1. poised to become a force in the NFC East and threatening to become one of the NFL’s hottest teams early in the season.
That feeling is familiar to the Arizona Cardinals, as not long ago such excitement surrounded the emergence of quarterback Kyler Murray, the first pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Now in his sixth season, Murray is showing signs of being his dynamic self again after missing much of the 2023 season while recovering from a torn ACL. But at 1-2 and coming off a 20-13 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Cardinals still have a ways to go before they can once again claim to be legitimate contenders in the NFC West.
To do that and get back to .500, they’ll have to go through a familiar face on Washington’s sideline: the Commanders’ offensive coordinator is none other than Kliff Kingsbury, who served as the Cardinals’ head coach from 2019 to 2022 and led the team to one playoff appearance in 2021. Kingsbury was instrumental in Murray’s selection No. 1 overall and his development, and he is now tasked with proving himself once again to be a skilled quarterback whisperer and offensive mind.
