Kyler Murray enjoyed the best game of his career in a 41-10 demolition of the Rams in Week 2. Murray completed 17 of 21 passes for 266 yards, three touchdowns, and a perfect passer rating of 158.3 while adding 59 rushing yards on five carries. As a result of his strong performance, he was voted the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week.
Per a press release from the Arizona Cardinals, Murray becomes the second quarterback in franchise history to have a perfect passer rating. Kurt Warner achieved that feat on September 14, 2008 against the Miami Dolphins. Murray also became just the second player in NFL history with at least 250 passing yards, 50 rushing yards and a 158.3 passer rating in a game, joining Cincinnati’s Ken Anderson, who accomplished the feat in 1974 at Baltimore.
As a result of Murray winning the Air Player of the Week, the NFL will work with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to donate $2,000 to Historical Black Colleges and Universities.
