NFL world reacts to Kyler Murray’s dreadful 1st half in playoff game vs Rams

The first half of Monday night’s NFC Wild-Card Round playoff game was a complete disaster for Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals.

Los Angeles outscored Arizona 21-0 (beginning with a fantastic Odell Beckham Jr. touchdown catch), and Murray had brutal numbers: 7-of-17 passing, for 29 yards (1.6 AVG), two interceptions, and a 9.3 passer rating.

The lowlight of the nightmare half from Murray was this comical pick-six from Arizona’s own four-yard line in the second quarter.

And on the next drive, Murray hrew the second interception. This one was much more of a tough-luck play off the hands of running back James Conner, but Conner didn’t appear ready for the pass:

I've been watching Kyler Murray for a long time. That was the worst play I've ever seen him make. Just bad on bad. So far, this is the worst GAME I've ever seen him play.

Moon Knight seems more composed and in control of the situation than Kyler
