The Cardinals left their Thursday night matchup with the Saints with a nice 42-34 win, but it didn’t seem to be completely “clean” for all 60 minutes. Even with a heartbroken Andy Dalton on the other side, Arizona had its own quarterback-head coach strife to sort out.
Late in the first half, with the Cardinals down 14-6 and before the Arizona offense (and defense) would take off, Kyler Murray appeared to have some — how do I say this … “choice” words for his head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
A better way to say this is that Murray wasn’t happy, and he simply wanted Kingsbury to really calm down.

Oh, man. Call of Duty comes out next week, right? Maybe, for a COD player like Murray — this wasn’t about the football game!
For what it’s worth, the pair would clarify what happened in their confrontation in the postgame:

It’s a good thing the Cardinals would win because that does not look like a comfortable exchange between quarterback and head coach. Call it a hunch, but this might not be the last time we hear (or see) something between Murray and Kingsbury.
