Which drought? Cardinals TE Trey McBride defeats the Falcons and reaches the century mark

It at last took place! For the first time in the twenty-first century, a tight end for the Arizona Cardinals made it to 100 yards.

While second-year player Trey McBride was not without his moments during Arizona’s 25-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, quarterback Kyler Murray of the Cardinals stole the show with his comeback to action 11 months after tearing his ACL.

Two weeks earlier, McBride came dangerously close to reaching the 100-yard threshold, and on eight catches (nine targets), he exceeded it with 131 yards.

Trey ignited it. Jonathan Gannon, the head coach, stated that “he made some huge plays.” The person was fracturing tackles. During the first (catch), I juiced him. Although he had a fantastic day and is a really good player, I didn’t like his ball security and he came off; he knew it before I even told him.

He becomes the first tight end for the Cardinals to reach 100 points in a game since Rob Awalt accomplished it in 1989, 34 years to the day—well before McBride was even born.

What a massive drought it is.

“I thought that was crazy when they told me that after the game,” McBride remarked on Sunday. “I didn’t even cross my mind. Even so, that was ten years before my birth.

It’s really amazing and cool. Very grateful for this organization; it is very special to me. I hope the drought doesn’t last as long as it did this time around and I’m grateful for all these guys.

McBride, who remains a key member of the offensive attack regardless of the quarterback, is having a great season. The offense hasn’t felt the loss of Zach Ertz as much as it seemed like it would.

McBride plays a major role in that.

McBride was third among Cardinals pass catchers in terms of receiving yards (287), touchdowns (one), and receptions (28) prior to his career day against the Falcons.

Murray remarked of McBride, “I don’t think there’s that many safeties in the league that can probably guard him.” “He’s got all the ability in the world, and he’s getting his confidence up, so I’m happy to see him do what he’s doing,” the speaker said.
