It was already going bad for Kyler Murray and the Cardinals. They were down by 14 points early against the Rams in the Wild Card Round, and they were backed up on their own goal line to start the drive.
And then, Murray made a mistake that was so bad that everyone was slamming the young star quarterback.
It appeared that Kyler Murray was about to commit the cardinal sin of taking a sack in his own end zone – which would resulted in a safety for LA. But at the last moment, Murray made an even worse decision by blindly lobbing the ball up behind his head in the direction of his check down in the flat.
It was intercepted and returned for a touchdown for the Rams.

As “The Rock” reacted with disgust to Kyler Murray’s interception, the web was busy massively throwing shade at the Cardinals signal caller.

Kyler Murray will undoubtedly want to forget that first half. And he’ll have to hope for some sort of break to come back in this game.
After the first half few games of the season, Murray was widely believed to be one of a few favorites to take home the MVP award. But after dealing with some injuries and facing some tougher competition, he struggled down the stretch.
Now, it looks like Kyler Murray is well on his way to his first career playoff loss. And he’ll hope to learn from a lot of his mistakes during the offseason.
