Kyler Murray completed 15-of-20 passes for 154 yards, rushed two times for six yards and lost one fumble in the Cardinals’ 29-9, Week 9 win over the Bears.
The Cardinals’ ground game dominated the Bears’ banged-up defense, reducing Murray to a managerial role. Fantasy managers were also dealt a pair of brutal hands. Murray connected with Trey McBride for a big gain and he was eventually brought down inside the Bears’ five-yard line. McBride scored a rushing touchdown on the following play after being sent in motion pre-snap and taking the handoff from Murray on his way back from the right side of the formation. Murray is also credited with having lost a fumble in this one but equal (or more) blame should be placed on RB Emari Demercado, who bobbled the fumbled handoff. Murray is a low-end QB1 against the Jets in Week 10.
