Redditors are convinced there’s a correlation between Kyler Murray’s poor play and Call of Duty

Does Kyler Murray play worse when there’s a big Call of Duty event? Hmm.

You kind of knew this was coming, didn’t you?

The whole Kyler Murray and the “independent study” clause in his contract was the NFL offsesason’s weirdest kerfuffle — the Arizona Cardinals initially put in a clause stating he had to study without playing video games or watch TV for four hours a week, which doesn’t seem like a good thing for the franchise when you’re paying him large stacks of money.

They eventually removed the clause, but it was too late: It was a huge mess.
