The Arizona Cardinals emerged out of State Farm Stadium with a 25-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10, the first taste of action Murray’s seen all season after suffering from a torn ACL in 2022.
Murray didn’t pass for a touchdown and turned the ball over once, though he did find the end zone with his feet and eventually shook off the rust to orchestrate a game-winning drive in the late stages of the fourth quarter.
Jonathan Gannon: “Obviously, (QB Kyler Murray) 1 coming back, he made plays with his legs and made plays with his arm. The last two-minute (drive) there, I know (where) the line to gain there for a field goal (was) and where we’re comfortable. He said ‘I’m going to get it all the way down there’, and that’s what he did. Obviously a jolt of energy and belief within our team. That’s why he is who he is. I couldn’t be happier for the guy. Onto Houston.”
Dennis Gardeck: “It was incredible. Just how special of a player he is and it’s so cool being the guy that prides himself on being one of the first in and last out and to see Kyler already in and still there when I’m leaving … also going through an ACL (injury). Not too much before him. I kind of have goosebumps right now, it’s just so cool to see. I know that feeling, I know all the hard work, the loneliness of having to do that rehab. Everything he’s gone through and just to hit it in stride as a starting quarterback. I have the utmost respect for him and really happy for him.”
