Kyler Murray

The kid keeps getting better and better each week.  He has learned from his early season mistakes.  He has started to learn to throw the ball away when in trouble.

He did not throw any interceptions on 37 attempts on Sunday.  He went 27-37 for 340-yards and 3 touchdowns against the Falcons.

His quarterback rating was 128.2 on Sunday.  Murray didn’t run the ball the way he did last week against the Cincinnati Bengals but he didn’t need to.

However there were a couple of runs he made which were huge.  Maybe the biggest run was the last run play of the afternoon in which Murray found the first down stick in order to run out the clock with a couple of kneel downs late in the game.

Murray had a 3rd and 1 run pushing the line forward for a first down.  They had another opportunity to do it later in the game and decided to hand it to David Johnson for a loss.
