Marvin Harrison Jr.'s Drops Fuel Backlash After Cardinals' 16–15 Loss to 49ers

The second-year receiver took responsibility after two costly drops, renewing concern about his consistency since last season.

Overview

  • Early in the third quarter, Harrison dropped a wide-open pass with room to run, a play observers said could have flipped the game’s momentum.
  • He also failed to secure a potential touchdown in the end zone on a later drive, with Arizona ultimately scoring but later losing 16–15.
  • Harrison finished with three catches for 44 yards on six targets; through three games he has 10 receptions for 142 yards and one touchdown.
  • Visibly emotional postgame, he said he was disappointed and not performing at the needed level, adding that his play hurts the team and must improve.
  • Fan criticism surged on social media with some labeling him a bust, and a local columnist called for a benching, as attention turns to a short week against the Seahawks.
