Tidbit Tuesday is back! Here you will learn stats and stories that you may otherwise never hear about sports. This segment also appears on my Face Book page, The Az Sports Guru. So please like ,share and rad it there as well. Enjoy!
Did you know Cardinal's rookie quarterback Kyler Murray is just the second player in history to throw for 300 plus yards in his first two starts?
Murray opened the season up by throwing for 308 yards and 2 TD's while rally the team to tie against the Detroit Lions. In week 2 he threw for 349 yards but did not have a touchdown and the team lost 23-17. Murray is 54-94 for 657 yards, 2 TD's and 1 INT.
Murray joins Carolina QB Cam Newton as the only 2 players to throw for 300 plus yards in there first two games. Newton had 422 yards in his rookie debut against, ironically, the Cardinals and then lit up Green Bay the following week with 432 yards in the air.
The Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks next and it will be a very tough task for Murray to make it three in a row. If Murray can throw for 200 yards he will be the first rookie to do so in his first three starts. But I think Murray would rather have the win.
