Quarterback Kyler Murray threw for one touchdown and rushed for another to lead the Cardinals to a 33-22 victory over the Bears in 2021 at Soldier Field.

Kyler Murray is a No. 1 overall pick the Cardinals got right.

He was the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback by Year 3. He took the Cardinals to their first playoff game in six seasons in 2021, when he was the leading candidate for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player Award through the first half of the season.
