Cardinals' Kyler Murray: Brings it home in second half
Murray completed 28 of 34 passes for 316 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Cardinals' 31-19 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 19 yards and another score.
Playing with a less-than-100-percent DeAndre Hopkins and facing a feisty Jaguars defense, Murray and the Cardinals offense struggled in the first half on their way to a 13-7 deficit at intermission. However, the MVP candidate picked it up in the second half and flashed a particularly impressive connection with A.J. Green, who came down with a team-high 36-yard grab on his way to a 112-yard afternoon. Murray's strong early season chemistry with Christian Kirk (7-104) also persisted, with the wideout helping make up for a lackluster showing by Hopkins and propelling Murray to his second game with at least 300 passing yards to open the season. The third-year star will look to make up for his first game without a touchdown pass in 2021 when Arizona travels to the Rams for a tough divisional showdown in Week 4.
