GLENDALE, Arizona — The Arizona Cardinals will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7 at State Farm Stadium on Monday, Oct. 21. Kickoff tonight is at 9 p.m. Eastern. The matchup will air exclusively ESPN Plus with Dan Orlovsky, Louis Reddick and Laura Rutledge on the call.
The Cardinals come into the Monday Night Football game hoping to avoid a three-game losing streak, knowing how that can spiral into something worse as it did last season when they lost six straight as part of a 1-8 start. They’ve already improved off that with two wins so far, but understand there’s more work to be done.
“We have to remain positive, because we know what we have in here,” quarterback Kyle Murray said, according to the Associated Press. “It’s not like we’re at rock bottom. No one’s given up on what we can accomplish. I’ve got full faith and confidence in all the guys in the locker room.”
The Chargers have gotten out to a solid start under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, hoping to build on that tonight. That means a trip to Arizona to face a Cardinals team trending in the other direction where slowing down Murray is the top priority.
“You have to treat those type of quarterbacks like running backs. You go tackle them,” Harbaugh said. “Kyler is good or better than a lot of running backs. It is something we can get better at, especially when there are free runners.”
