Kyler Murray was coming off a bye week and Murray looked like he had built up energy on Sunday. The former Oklahoma quarterback had a monster day in the Arizona Cardinals’ 34-31 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Murray got things started early.
In the second-quarter, he found former Texas A&M teammate Christian Kirk for a 56-yard bomb for a touchdown.

As the game went on, Tua Tagovailoa dueled Murray out in the desert. The two went back-and-forth for much of the game.
Arizona fell behind 24-17 at halftime. Right out of the half, Murray scored 14-straight points to give Arizona the lead.
Kyler gives the Cardinals the lead!
