WATCH:- Heated Argument Breaks Out Between Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins; “What You Looking at Bro”
It appears as though the tensions are boiling over in Arizona. This year’s Hard Knocks series features the Arizona Cardinals. The Hard Knocks series follows a team through the season, capturing the highs and the lows as the team navigates a treacherous NFL season filled with obstacles. A clip that is now going viral on social media shows a confrontational exchange between Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins.

This incident occurred during the team’s 31-21 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. In the clip Hopkins can be seen asking Murray, “Why? What you looking at bro? What you see? Come on bro, that sh*t wide open.” While this could be written off as an exchange in the heat of the moment, it is never a positive sign to see your number one wide receiver get into it with the quarterback.

Murray himself did not have a particularly good game against the Seahawks. Kyler threw for only 175 yards and targeted Hopkins only five times (four catches, 36 yards, and a TD). The Cardinals’ offense seemed extremely bleak and just could not figure out a way to get past a rock-solid Seattle secondary.
A closer look at Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals
As always, this season started with the hope that the Cardinals could be good this year. Their opening game was a 44-21 loss at the hands of the Chiefs, arguably the best team in the league. Despite the loss, fans were positive given the Cardinals did put on a fight and did not just roll over.

However, things quickly went downhill after that. Nine games into the season and the Cardinals have a record of 3-6. The three wins were secured against the Carolina Panthers, Raiders and Saints respectively.
As for Murray, he started out the season well but has faded as the season has gone on. For someone who is in the fourth season as a professional in the NFL, Murray needs to do better and pull his team out of difficult situations like all the elite quarterbacks are able to do.
