Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray won the sixth NFC Offensive Player of the Week honor of his career after completing 22 of 24 passes for 266 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the New York Jets.
Murray also rushed for 31 yards and two scores. He completed his final 17 pass attempts — that set a franchise record — in the 31-6 win at State Farm Stadium.
The quarterback has now won more Player of the Week awards than any past Cardinal. Quarterback Kurt Warner, pass rusher Chandler Jones and corner Patrick Peterson won five apiece.
