After a decisive 31-6 victory over the Jets, the Cardinals are entering their bye week with confidence. Veteran running back James Conner expressed satisfaction with the timing of the break, stating, "This is the perfect time." Head coach Jonathan Gannon's approach to team momentum suggests that he does not see the week off as an issue.

Quarterback Kyler Murray emphasized his commitment during the break, saying, "Football will be on my mind all week." He advised teammates to prioritize team interests if they choose to travel during this period.

Gannon plans for some work on Monday but might give players additional rest later in the week. The Cardinals have shown strong performance recently, climbing to the top of their division. Media discussions have highlighted Murray's potential MVP candidacy and tight end Trey McBride's standing among top players at his position.

Gannon remains focused on maintaining consistency regardless of recent successes or challenges. He stated, "Whatever our record is right now, we're going to get a little bit of rest but the most important thing we do is probably (Monday)."

McBride received praise from Gannon for his abilities on the field: "He's elite with the ball in his hands," said Gannon. A unique moment occurred when a referee overturned a play due to James Conner's buttcheek touching out of bounds before scoring.

The game against the Jets marked several milestones and achievements for players like Marvin Harrison Jr., Budda Baker, and Baron Browning. Kyler Murray also surpassed Jake Plummer for third-most passing yards in franchise history.

As they head into their bye week with a 6-4 record, Murray expressed determination: "Not satisfied. I told y'all last week, I feel like our record could be better than this."
