Marvin Harrison Jr.'s Costly Drops Intensify Scrutiny in Cardinals' 16-15 Loss to 49ers

Two high-profile drops in a 16-15 defeat intensified scrutiny of his reliability, usage, target share.

Overview

  • Early in the third quarter, Harrison let a catchable Kyler Murray pass slip through his hands on blown coverage, a likely touchdown that turned into a field goal in a one-point loss.
  • AZ Central and talkSPORT reported he also dropped a potential touchdown in the end zone a few plays later.
  • He finished with three receptions for 44 yards on six targets, and Arizona fell to 2-1 on the season.
  • His season totals stand at 10 catches for 142 yards with one touchdown, as questions persist about targets and downfield opportunities.
  • Social media reaction was sharply critical, with some labeling him a bust, while Harrison grew emotional postgame and took accountability; the Cardinals next host the Seahawks on Thursday.
