Before last Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was averaging a career-low four rushing attempts over the first month of the season.
And then this happened
Murray’s 50-yard touchdown run early in the Cardinals’ stunning 24-23 victory over San Francisco is a reminder about the dangerous dual threat he is.
Murray ran seven times for 83 yards Sunday, but he’s been inconsistent as a passer. He’s thrown for over 200 yards in just two of the five games this season.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has thrown for 614 yards and six touchdowns in two games since returning from a sprained knee ligament, but he’s also thrown four interceptions.
Both quarterbacks will be looking to create more explosive plays when Green Bay hosts Arizona at Lambeau Field this weekend.

“What’s done is done and we’re moving forward,” LaFleur said during his Monday afternoon news conference. “I expect us collectively as a team to continue to move that way.”
