The Arizona Cardinals reportedly will start Colt McCoy for a second straight game in place of Kyler Murray when they host the 49ers tonight in Mexico City.
The biggest fear in facing the super-speedy Murray is his ability to extend plays and create on the fly, which means puts pressure on defensive backs to plaster receivers in coverage. McCoy is no statue but Bosa and the 49ers’ pass rush have a better shot at impacting the Cardinals’ passing attack.
“We just have to be disciplined in everything we do,” Ryans added. “And it never changes, no matter who’s playing quarterback, it will always be about us defensively and playing our best.” McCoy was 22-of-26 for 249 yars, and his 45-yard touchdown pass to Conner 1 1/2 minutes into the second half made it a 24-7 ballgame. Conner ran 47 yards after the catch for that score, similar to how he turned a short pass into a third-and-long conversion in the first half. A 7-yard scramble by McCoy on third-and-4 was a reminder of his mobility, even if it’s not on Murray’s level.
