After Two INT Targets, Cardinals Reaffirm Trust in Marvin Harrison Jr. Before Titans Game

Arizona sees his reliability as pivotal to unlocking an offense constrained by protection issues plus a missing vertical threat.

Overview

  • Arizona fell 23-20 to Seattle after a first half in which a Harrison route mix‑up and a bobble on separate targets turned into interceptions.
  • Harrison rebounded with six second‑half receptions, including a fourth‑quarter touchdown that pulled the Cardinals even before the late defeat.
  • Harrison told reporters he had never faced that level of in‑game adversity, noting he focused on leaning on preparation to reset after halftime.
  • Kyler Murray said his confidence in Harrison did not waver and Drew Petzing highlighted the receiver’s contested‑catch skill while downplaying occasional miscommunications.
  • AZ Central reported Next Gen Stats show Harrison catching 2.9% below expected this season after finishing 0.3% above expected last year, with broader run‑game and line struggles elevating the need for consistent production as Tennessee awaits in Week 5.
