Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 31-6 loss to the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on Sunday:
Hero
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray toyed with the Jets, completing 22 of 24 passes for 266 yards and a touchdown with a rating of 126.7. He also ran for two touchdowns. He was the best player on the field — by a lot.
Unsung Hero
Cardinals running back James Conner produced 113 yards from scrimmage — 33 on the ground and 80 on five receptions — and scored a rushing touchdown.
Zero
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished 22 of 35 for 151 empty yards and a rating of 72.2. He was sacked three times for 23 yards in losses and was a complete nonfactor in the game.
Key Stat
28: That’s how many first downs the Cardinals had in the game — 18 of which came in the dominant first half.
