GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona's Kyler Murray rolled out to his left before turning on the jets, beating a Chargers defender to the sideline and then coasting for a spectacular 44-yard touchdown, casually holding the ball with one hand like it was a backyard game.
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon admitted that's not the way his players are taught to protect the ball.
Then again, Gannon didn't teach Murray how to run like that, either.
“Until he fumbles, I'll let him ride,” Gannon said with a wry grin. “That was a pretty spectacular play.”
