Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray completed 23-of-30 passes for 224 yards in the Cardinals’ 30-17, Week 15 win over the Patriots, adding five carries for 11 yards.

Murray’s day almost ended in disaster when fled the pocket and threw a back-breaking pick just outside of his own end zone late in the third quarter. Murray tried to play hero-ball, turned it over, and took a hard hit to the head in the process. The hit warranted a concussion check, forcing Murray from the game, but also drew a penalty flag that negated the interception. Murray was cleared to return by the medical staff a few minutes later. It was an otherwise quiet day for Murray, who was held without a passing touchdown for the third time this year. The Patriots didn’t put up much of a fight, allowing Arizona to get away with a balanced approach on offense. Murray gets a phenomenal matchup with the Panthers next week, keeping him in the QB1 ranks for the fantasy semifinals.
