"I said I respected the way he plays," Rodgers said. "He’s started off with some incredible years he’s putting together. He’s so talented – arm talent. Obviously, he runs all over the place. I said, ‘We’ll see you in the playoffs.’"
Rodgers and the Packers were stopped on 4th and goal and missed an opportunity to put the game away. It gave Murray and the Cardinals an opportunity to at least tie the game and send it into overtime, but it didn’t look like the team was playing for an extra period.
Three chunk plays got Arizona in field goal range but Murray’s scrambling ability got Arizona even closer.
