Patriots coach Bill Belichick praises Cardinals QB Kyle Murray as 'hard to defend'

The New England Patriots will face one of the NFL's best young quarterbacks for the third consecutive week in Sunday's Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals at Gillette Stadium.

Arizona leads the league in total yards and is among eight teams averaging 28 or more points scored per game. The Cardinals also are the league's top rushing team. They rank No. 2 in rushing yards and No. 1 in both yards per carry and rushing touchdowns.

Kyler Murray is the engine that drives the Cardinals' high-powered offense.

The second-year quarterback has completed 68.3 percent of his pass attempts for 2,644 yards with 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
