Watch: Cardinals QB Kyler Murray talks trash to Cowboys’ Randy Gregory
Jan 4, 2022, 12:42 PM
There’s no place like home.
That’s how Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray must feel inside AT&T Stadium, as the signal-caller is now a perfect 9-0 (8-0 as a starter) when his team plays in the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium.
Murray — who was mic’d up in the 25-22 win on Sunday — wasted no time being the vocal leader that he is, including picking up guard Josh Jones after committing a false start penalty early in the game.
The Cardinals QB also called upon tight end Zach Ertz to “be there for him” and sure enough, the veteran TE was. Murray got crunched on the play by Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory, but the third-year signal-caller had some choice words for the pass-rusher.
“Hey, I’m here, dog. I’m here,” Murray said to Gregory after the play.
The QB was also heard laughing after outrunning the DE on a scramble out of bounds later in the game.
Nobody had more confidence in Matt Prater than his quarterback, who said the Cardinals kicker was “gon’ make this easy” before drilling a 53-yarder to end the first half.
Prater was coming off of a performance in which he missed two field goals and an extra point in a loss a week prior.
And after throwing his second touchdown pass of the game to fellow Texas-native Antoine Wesley, Murray and the offense took matters into their own hands and killed off the clock on the final drive of the contest.
“Hey, is that game?” Murray asked his teammates, to which they responded affirmatively.
It was, indeed, ballgame, as the Cardinals QB took a knee in victory formation.
