Kyler Murray intercepts the end of the game 15 seconds before the end; Packers corner-back Rasul Douglas chose a pass intended for A.J. Green in the second and a goal from Green Bay’s five-yard line in which a touchdown would have won Arizona’s game.
Kyler Murray made a late game interception with 15 seconds left as the Green Bay Packers finished off a win-win for the Arizona Cardinals with a 24-21 win on Thursday Night.
Rasul Douglas, a full-back who was on the Cardinals’ training team earlier this year, played with the ball and made a decisive interception, ending Arizona’s unbeaten streak and winning the Packers for the seventh straight season.
Aaron Rogers threw two passes for touchdown, both to veteran foster Randall Cobb, as he fought without his main receiver Devante Adams, who missed the game after testing positive for Covid-19.
But Green Bay as a whole relied heavily on running play, dominating possession in scrum, as A.J. Dillion and Aaron Jones, who found the end zone in the second quarter, were both impressed.
Arizona had three quick results, two of James Conner, while Chase Edmonds’ score opened the scoring in the competition. Murray completed 22 of 33 assists for 274 yards, but had two costly picks, and rookie Rondale Moore also hit the ball in the first half.
The Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins was rarely used during the game as it seemingly exacerbated the hamstring injury. He finished with just two receptions for 66 yards.

The game started off roughly offensive, with the first three drives of the game ending with antlers, before Arizona went 63 yards in seven games to open the 11-yard lead for Edmonds.
