NFL Power Rankings: Kyler Murray is an MVP candidate, but are the Cardinals Super Bowl worthy?

It was one play among hundreds in the Arizona Cardinals season, but it said a lot.

It's the kind of play that only Kyler Murray (and maybe — maybeLamar Jackson) could make.

The Cardinals had a third-and-16 in Rams territory. The Cardinals led 14-10. Murray dropped back and there was nothing open downfield. The Rams are too well-coached to give up anything easy on third-and-16 that deep in their own territory. So Murray, even with five defenders rushing to keep him contained, simply got outside with a shifty move, beat two defenders to the corner with his speed, and got 18 yards and a first down.
