Kirk Herbstreit made a glaring mistake on live television during the Arizona Cardinals-Seattle Seahawks “Thursday Night Football” game yesterday.
The 56-year-old Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels were on the call for the Week 4 NFC West clash at State Farm Stadium last night, their third “Thursday Night Football” assignment of the 2025 season.
Seattle blew a late 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, but Sam Darnold needed just three plays to set up Jason Myers’ game-winning 52-yard field goal. Seattle moved to 3-1 on the season, while Kyler Murray’s Cardinals fell to 2-2.
As the Cardinals’ offense struggled in the fourth quarter, Kirk Herbstreit compared Kyler Murray to star quarterbacks from the 2018 NFL Draft in Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. The only issue? Herbstreit incorrectly stated that Murray came from the 2018 NFL Draft and had to be corrected by Michaels.
“Look at guys in his own draft class, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen. Those guys raise the offense, they raise everybody! The coaches, the belief! That’s the one thing that you’d love to see more of just from Kyler Murray. We know what he can do, we know how talented he is.”
Murray, of course, was the No. 1 pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. The 30-year-old Mayfield was taken first overall by the Cleveland Browns, but didn’t find hit his ceiling until landing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023.
Kirk Herbstreit Still Made A Strong Point On Kyler Murray
On the bright side, Kirk Herbstreit’s incorrect statement on Kyler Murray wasn’t as cringeworthy as his awkward hot mic moment during the North Carolina-TCU game on ESPN earlier this month.
But Herbstreit’s analysis of Murray is spot-on. This is his seventh season with the Cardinals, and we still haven’t seen him reach “superstar” territory. Murray looked like an MVP candidate in the first half of the 2021 season, only for Arizona to unravel in the second half before losing to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Round.
Murray still hasn’t hit 4,000 yards or 30 passing touchdowns in a single season and boasts a QB record of 38-47-1, per Pro Football Reference. And it’s not like he’s lacked a strong supporting cast, with DeAndre Hopkins, Zach Ertz, James Conner, Marquise Brown, Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. all standing out as notable playmakers he’s had the chance to work with.
