Cardinals’ Trey McBride has choice words for Falcons’ Richie Grant

The Falcons wanted to prevent a three-game slide before going into the bye week with the Saints waiting for them at the other end of it. Taylor Heinicke described the Week 10 contest as Atlanta’s Super Bowl.

The Cardinals were 1-8 as Kyler Murray made his 2023 debut after tearing his ACL last year, and he went out and embarrassed the Falcons. Arthur Smith’s team looked underprepared and outmatched by a 1-8 (???) football team.

In the waning minutes of the game, the Cardinals had the ball with a chance for Kyler Murray to lead a game-winning drive to set up the go-ahead field goal. Murray did it with his legs and arms, capping it off with a 33-yard completion to Trey McBride, who had a historic afternoon.

On Sunday, McBride became the first Arizona tight end to record a 100-yard receiving game since 1989. For much of the contest, he was covered by Richie Grant, whose struggles continued. After the game, McBride told members of the media that he wanted the ball if Grant was going to cover him.
