Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray completed 20-of-32 passes for 202 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Cardinals’ 36-30, Week 16 overtime loss to the Panthers, adding eight rushes for 63 yards and a score.

Fantasy managers will take it, but it was another dispiriting “real life” effort from the sixth-year starter as the Cardinals were eliminated from playoff contention. Murray’s fourth quarter interception down 30-27 at the 3:20 mark was probably the worst throw of his entire career, as he ranged past the line of scrimmage before throwing the ball directly to Demani Richardson. It was a baffling, inscrutable decision that somehow didn’t cost the Cardinals the game. Murray, nevertheless, got outplayed in the extra period by star-crossed Bryce Young. Incapable of finding Trey McBride for touchdowns or Marvin Harrison Jr. for anything at all, Murray remains plateaued. Now with nothing to play for, the Cardinals face a Rams team with everything to play for in Week 17.
