Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has undoubtedly had his career edified by head coach Jonathan Gannon this NFL season. Murray’s elitism is represented by one key statistic keeping the offense on schedule.

The Seattle Seahawks (5-5) and Arizona Cardinals (6-4) are set to meet at Lumen Field on Nov. 24, which means that Geno Smith and Kyler Murray will be under center for the respective sides. Below, we dissect both signal callers, spotlighting the stats and trends that will come into play this week.

We've never before seen this Kyler Murray. Even in his second season, when he appeared on the MVP radar post Hail Murray and five of his first 10 games featured a rating north of 100, Murray wasn't playing as efficiently as he has to date in 2024.

Kyler Murray's efficient play has Arizona on a four-game winning streak and atop the NFC West. It also has put him in the MVP conversation.

Pinch yourself. The Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Kyler Murray are starting to look like the juggernaut that they are on paper.

Kyler Murray is for sure back. The Cardinals needed only three plays, and one Texans' illegal contact penalty, to go 75 yards. Murray hit tight end Trey McBride for 13 yards on first down, and Steven Nelson was called for illegal contact on second down.
