A 21-yard Chubba Hubbard overtime touchdown Sunday ended the Arizona Cardinals‘ season. The Cardinals were officially eliminated from playoff contention after a 36-30 loss to that Carolina Panthers.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was bested by Panthers quarterback Bryce Young. Murray finished the game 20-for-32 and passing for just one touchdown along with throwing one interception. Murray also had a rushing touchdown. Young, Carolina’s once-troubled young quarterback, finished the game 17-for-26, threw two touchdowns and got another score using his legs.

Arizona, now 7-8 on the season, was vying for a wildcard spot in the playoffs and was officially eliminated from contention with a week 16 loss.

Here are some (devastating) fan reactions to the Cardinals losing in overtime and missing out on the playoffs once again:

i’d like to officially admit, i am done. it’s time we see someone else throw the football for this Arizona Cardinals team.

The Cardinals have lost 4 of their last 5 games after starting the season 6-4.

Kyler Murray in those games:

5 Touchdowns
7 Turnovers
81.1 RTG

The Arizona Cardinals should be f*cking ashamed of themselves.

Another late-season implosion, and yet again, the Cardinals are eliminated from the playoffs before Christmas.

One of the worst organizations in the NFL continues its run of futility.
