Kyler Murray, who signed a 5-year mega extension this offseason worth up to $230.5 Million – showcased just why he deserves every penny. As if it wasn’t for his masterclass ability to keep the ball alive and then make plays with his feet – the Cardinals could have suffered via a humiliating defeat.
Kyler Murray threw for 277 yards with a TouchDown and an interception on 31-of-49 passing. The 25-year-old also ran for 28 yards and a TouchDown on five carries.
