The Arizona Cardinals run game got back on track last week behind 181 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries.

That was about one of the only positives to take away from across the 42-14 loss to the Washington Commanders.

That is unless you’re quarterback Kyler Murray.

Starter James Conner ate behind 104 yards and a score on 18 carries.

Rookie Trey Benson turned in his best game as a pro with another 50 yards on nine attempts, while Emari Demercado averaged six yards per carry on his way to 24 yards.

Murray, however, accounted for just three yards and a carry in Week 4.

That cannot and should not be the case moving forward, especially in Week 5’s tilt against the San Francisco 49ers.

After averaging five carries and 53.7 yards across the first three games, the franchise signal caller registered just one rushing attempt for a measly three yards.

“It’s obviously a conversation between me and coaches,” Murray said Wednesday.

“‘Could I have done this? Could I have done that? Should I have done this?’ We just have those conversations.

Obviously, when I have three yards on one rush, I feel a little weird about it but that’s kind of sometimes how the game plays (out).

“At the end of the day, the defense is dictating where I’m technically supposed to go with the ball.

You go through your reads and if they get back there, they get back there, which they did on Sunday.”

Despite leading all NFL signal callers in yards per carry with 10.3, Murray is outside of the top 10 in rushing attempts with 16.

And as history has shown, when there’s less of Murray on the ground, there’s usually less wins on the record.
