by Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had to be ejected after the third game of the offense against the New England Patriots.
Running from his right pocket, Murray looked to throw an oncoming Patriots defender and after trying to make a cut, he immediately hit the grass and sustained a non-contact injury that seriously hurt him.
After being evaluated on the field, Murray was transported to the car, where his entire team consoled him as he placed a towel over his head in blatant disappointment.

The former first-ever general pick was 3-7 as a starter in the year leading up to Monday night, scoring 14 goals and throwing 2,359 yards with seven interceptions. He also had a career-worst quarterback rating of 87.1.
All of the Cardinals’ struggles this season can’t be put on Murray’s shoulders, as fingers can point in multiple directions. Still, Murray and head coach Kliff Kingsbury received much of the criticism from fans, as the Cardinals gave him a lucrative extension.
