He may not have been in uniform on Friday night but Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was still able to put to use what he did in practice in the weeks leading up to the first preseason game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Murray helped call offensive plays during the fourth quarter of the Cardinals' 36-23 win over the Bengals alongside co-pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Cam Turner.
Murray was on a headset relaying plays to quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, who played the entire second half. Murray was in charge for two actual series and then the two kneel-down plays to close the game, which coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the game weren't Murray's preferred choice of plays.
Arizona went three-and-out on both of Murray's series — the «last thing I anticipated,» Kingsbury said — running three pass plays and two run plays.
