Biggest early adjustment: Get more players involved early on offense

To say the Cardinals' offense has started slowly in each of the first two games this season would be an understatement. To get going quicker, Arizona needs to spread the ball around. Once it gets guys such as Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, James Conner and Zach Ertz going, the offense will start to flow. Kyler Murray called the team's scheme a rhythmic offense, but there are times when the Cardinals need to create their own rhythm, especially early in games.

What a moment for the Cardinals -- and what a game for key figures on each side of the ball in a comeback win over the Raiders. Before Byron Murphy Jr.'s scoop-and-score in overtime, it was Kyler Murray who willed the Cardinals back from the brink with his signature style of greatness. Murray kept plays alive with his legs and made several money throws with his arm, none bigger than the 2-point conversion dart to A.J. Green with no time remaining in regulation. On defense, it was former first-round pick Isiah Simmons, who, after seeing his playing time reduced following a rough Week 1, came up huge with the forced fumble in overtime that led to the win. "He can be as good as he wants," Kliff Kingsbury said of Simmons. "It's commitment to football, all day, every day. We've seen the flashes."

Give them credit for battling back against the Raiders, as they were staring an 0-2 start in the face. Kyler Murray came up big, which he had to do.

Has LB Isaiah Simmons finally woken up? He forced the decisive fumble against Las Vegas in overtime Sunday, the same day the eighth pick of the 2020 draft was benched and limited to 15 snaps.

It really is fitting that Kyler Murray is the most video game player in the league. Even down to, like, purposely taking a delay of game on the potential game-tying two-point conversion just to set up a play you like more...

The Cardinals looked like one of the worst teams in the league (and still might be) until Murray got weird in the second half against the Raiders. Credit also to the Cardinals' defense, which allowed only three points and five first downs to the Raiders on five possessions in the second half and overtime.

The Cardinals are confusing. They looked awful for the first six quarters of the season. Maybe even the first seven. They had a crazy comeback against the Raiders that they won in overtime. Does that mean they turned a corner? Or was it just a blip in an otherwise bad start?

Let Kyler cook.
