 Kyler Murray said he was “disappointed” in the Cardinals' inability to even make it “competitive” against the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.


Kyler Murray had a chance to lead his team to a playoff win and make a significant leap forward in his standing among NFL quarterbacks Monday night. That's exactly what he did. Murray went 9 of 11 for 228 yards and ran for an additional 92 yards and two touchdowns as the 1-seed Oklahoma Sooners upset the 4-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide 45-37 in the Orange Bowl.
The Cardinals entered the postseason on a tear, racking up nine wins in their final 10 games of the season. But sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen struggled to find answers all game, resulting in their early exit. The former UCLA standout showed tremendous improvements this season and is only going to get better moving forward. The Cardinals have been eliminated from the postseason, but they can take solace in knowing they have a bright future ahead of them.
It's disappointing that we didn't make it a game and come out and play the football we know we're capable of playing, said Murray. Losing is one thing, but when you don't even make it competitive, it's another thing.
At only 18 years old, Alphonso Davies is already living the dream of many Canadian soccer fans and could be a leading man for Canada at this summer's World Cup in Russia. But there was also disappointment, especially after his match-winning performance against Mexico in Vancouver on Wednesday.

 New York Jets coach Adam Gase didn't hesitate to accept blame for a fourth-down decision that cost the team a win.  It all started when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez hit receiver Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown with 9 minutes 53 seconds remaining to give New York a 24-17 lead over the Buccaneers. But instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer called for a running play that left more than four minutes on the clock. When Schottenheimer called timeout after Holmes scored, he tried to explain his actions. The Jets' fourth-quarter decision to not have quarterback Sam Darnold run the play on fourth-and-2 against the Patriots came from a directive by offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur that Darnold should throw the ball instead of run on the play. But LaFleur "looked around and saw four guys in formation," he said in a news conference Monday, referring to safety Duron Harmon, center David Andrews and both tackles. "

Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos.

 Drew Lock is focusing on the game, not his future with the Broncos. For a veteran making his third consecutive start at quarterback, Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock has no expectations for himself in Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lock has struggled in his two starts, averaging a respectable but unspectacular 6.4 yards per attempt. And for all of the criticism that some of his decisions on Sunday drew—namely, throwing a fade to a double-covered Tyrell Williams down 20-0 late—those came against an all-pro interior that only allowed 115 rushing yards in total, 49 yards from scrimmage from Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman combined and still recorded three sacks. Lock played well enough to win, and if the Broncos exploit their advantages agains. Broncos rookie QB Drew Lock drew favorable comparisons to fellow former Missouri standout and current Chiefs starter Patrick Mahomes. But the 2019 second-round pick was the clear third rival to Chad Kelly for the No. 2 r
