Visitors Postgame Press Conference


Vikings - 23, Cardinals - 22

Q. What are the emotions like after a loss like this?

KYLER MURRAY: Disappointed. Again, I don't feel like we -- kind of like didn't execute. Just didn't make enough plays. It came back to bite us.

That's a good team over there. We needed to put them away, and we didn't.

Q. What would you say about the struggles, getting touchdowns as opposed to field goals?

A. I haven't really played like that all year. I want to say uncharacteristic, but they'll beat you if you play bad football in the red zone. You get up against a good team defense, and that kills you.

Q. The interception, do you pin that more on the decision to throw that --

A. Which one?

Q. The one, the overthrow of Mike with kind of guys in your face. Do you pin that more on the decision or the execution of the throw?

A. No, I was trying to throw the ball away. It was all me.

Q. I guess when you have the chance to potentially win the game on fourth down, were you frustrated to not get the chance to go for that on fourth?

A. I trust them. I see both sides. Go up six and then score, trust the defense to go get a stop. Go for it, you don't get it, they've still got to go down and score. If you do get it, you probably put the game away.

Obviously, I'm confident in the scheme, but I have full faith in JG.

Q. To fix the issues in the red zone, you need better execution, but what wasn't executing well?

A. We shot ourselves in the foot. I don't think we really ran any plays. I don't have any penalties down there, but we put ourselves back behind the chains how many times all together? Four -- I feel like every time we got down there, besides the touchdown to Marv, obviously right before the two-minute, we had penalties.

Last one was tough, but we just all need to be better.

Q. When you watch tape in the fourth quarter especially, what are you going to be looking for?

A. I thought the plan was great. Total yards of offense, moved the ball well. Again, it just goes down to not scoring touchdowns. Get down there and get field goals, penalties bite us, it's bad. It's bad football.
