Kyler Murray is one of the most athletically gifted quarterbacks in the NFL, and when healthy he gives the Cardinals an explosive dimension that few defenses can fully account for. Arizona is building toward contention in the NFC West with a roster that features legitimate playmakers at receiver and a defense that has grown more physical in recent seasons.

For Cardinals fans, every game is a chance to watch Murray do something no one else in the league can replicate. The offense works best when Arizona can establish a rhythm early and let Murray operate in space on designed runs and bootlegs. If the defense creates turnovers and the offensive line holds up, the Cardinals are capable of winning any given week.
