The Cardinals didn't get the ball in the hands of DeAndre Hopkins and 'Hollywood' Brown and it cost them in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.
Arizona Republic
Hopkins has seen many better days than Sunday at State Farm Stadium and he can only hope that he has more better days during his team’s final two games of the season because on this night, it was about as bad as it could get. To put things into perspective, Hopkins didn’t have Kyler Murray throwing him the football. It wasn’t veteran backup Colt McCoy, either. The Cardinals were forced to turn to unproven Trace McSorley because of injuries to the other two quarterbacks. In his first NFL start, McSorley sailed a boatload of his passes and equally bounced them off the grass.
Embattled coach Kliff Kingsbury, whose team fell to 4-11 following its fifth straight loss, took the blame for not getting Hopkins and Brown more involved in the pass game. McSorley noted that the Buccaneers were “squatting” on Hopkins, defensively, and doing a good job of taking away the quick passing lanes. But he shared in the blame, too.
