Cardinals’ Trey McBride reaches milestones, but deflection off helmet leads to loss

Associated Press  

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Trey McBride became the 10th tight end in NFL history to have 100 catches in a season and had one of the best games of his three-year career Saturday night for the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals had first-and-goal at the 5 in the final minute, but Kyler Murray’s pass deflected off McBride’s helmet in the end zone. Murray compared the loss to a 2021 defeat in Green Bay, where the Cardinals drove down the field, but Murray’s pass was picked off in the end zone, allowing the Packers to hold on for a 24-21 victory. However, Chad Ryland’s extra point was blocked by linebacker Michael Hoecht, which is why the Cardinals had to go for a go-ahead touchdown instead of a game-tying field goal at the end.
