Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was seemingly caught by surprise when he learned that his team had been eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday.
The Cardinals fell 20-17 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. on Sunday, dropping them to 3-9 on the season. That officially eliminates them from the NFC playoff race for 2025.
That was news to Harrison, whose eyes widened slightly when he was asked a question about missing the playoffs.
“We’re out of the playoffs?” Harrison asked. “Everybody’s still got a job to do week-in, week-out. Just got to go one week at a time and get some wins.”

Harrison certainly was not shocked by the revelation. After all, the team came in at 3-8. He just did not quite know the math that went into the team’s official elimination.
For Harrison, the season has been a big disappointment both personally and from a team standpoint. He did not experience any second-year jump, and has caught just 40 passes for 594 yards and four touchdowns through 10 games this season. He has garnered more attention for some bad on-field drops than he has for any highlight-reel plays, and the Cardinals undoubtedly expected more out of him by this point.
