Not taking a stab at a Hail Mary at end of of first half against 49ers

A chance to clinch a playoff spot and the Cardinals came into the game the day after Christmas looking like they had a major holiday hangover. The offense was certainly not hitting on all cylinders.

Particularly interesting was the Cardinals deciding not to throw up a chance for a receiver in the end zone at the end of the first half. I mean, it worked once before, right?

In the end, it was the reason why the Cardinals lost on this day but a touchdown here sure could have helped. Any points here would have helped if we are being honest.

Murray just seemed to be going through the motions though. He threw a simple 5-yard toss to Christian Kirk, who just ran out of bounds to end the half. Really, that was the play?

So, not sure if this was the play call but if there was a Hail Mary opportunity, you know Kingsbury would have called it. Yet another perplexing call.
