**Cardinals Receiver Harrison Jr. Shrugs Off Production Criticism Amid 2-0 Start**

GLENDALE, AZ – The Arizona Cardinals are sitting pretty at 2-0 to start the 2025 NFL season, but not everyone is celebrating. Despite victories over the Saints and Panthers, the team’s offensive output, ranked 24th in the league, has drawn scrutiny. Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the team’s highly touted first-round pick, is pushing back against criticism of his individual performance.

“That’s a silly conversation, really,” Harrison said on Thursday, addressing questions about his relatively modest stats through two games (7 receptions, 98 yards, 1 TD). “We’re 2-0.”

While some fans expect more from the rookie, Harrison is focused on the team’s success. “That’s the most important thing,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of upcoming games, starting with a tough matchup against NFC West rival San Francisco.

Quarterback Kyler Murray echoed the desire for more target opportunities across the board but acknowledged the realities of NFL game planning. Harrison, for his part, remains unconcerned with target share.

“It’s always frustrating when you may not get the impact that you probably want in the game, especially when you put in so much work,” Harrison admitted. “But at the end of the day, you’re very happy that we’re 2-0.”

The Cardinals will look to improve to 3-0 on Sunday against the 49ers, hoping to silence critics and further solidify their place atop the NFC West.
