Kyler Murray vexed by Arizona Cardinals' struggles on offense

SEATTLE — The frustration from the brain trust of the Arizona Cardinals' offense was noticeable after it failed to score an offensive touchdown for the second time this season and didn't convert on three fourth downs in field goal range in a 19-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Sunday.

The loss dropped Arizona to 2-4, and its nine points were tied for the second fewest under coach Kliff Kingsbury. The Cardinals have yet to score 30 points this season and have reached 400 yards in a game just once.

Kingsbury said he has never experienced a stretch this long in which his offense has struggled.

«No, not yet since I've been a coach,» he said. «Just not being able to find rhythm as an offense, new to me. So, we're going to continue to work at it. Personnel-wise, see how we can move things around, and scheme-wise, see how we get better because it's a six-game view and it hasn't been good enough.»

Quarterback Kyler Murray said Arizona's offense hasn't been this bad since his rookie year.

«That's the last time s---'s felt this hard,» he said. «We just feel it's tough out there right now. Tough. That's what it feels like. A lot of it it's self-inflicted, put it on ourselves. Gotta get better.»

Murray didn't go into detail about what's been so hard for the offense but said the Cardinals continued to find themselves in difficult situations after productive spurts.

«Just feels like we moved the ball, we get to a certain area, get a long first down, next play we're second-and-10, that's tough to do,» Murray said. «It's tough [place] to be in.

»We're not doing things right right now."

The Cardinals finally were able to get off to the type of start they'd been striving for all season. They scored in the first quarter for
