Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was in the process of reassuring the media that he can play in the cold weather. Murray is a Texas native who played for the Oklahoma Sooners so the question was not out-of-bounds.
The Cardinals are on the road in Week 16 where they will face the Carolina Panthers. While the Carolinas are not normally associated with snowy weather, temperatures can drop which is expected this weekend.
Kyler Murray asked a reporter how cold it would be at game time. He was shocked to hear 35 degrees. Murray did not censor his response which sounded similar to the word “shoot.”
Check it out.
KYLER MURRAY 💀💀💀

Reporter: “35 degrees.”
Kyler: “yehhhh… SH*T.”

Kyler Murray And The Cardinals Are In A Tight NFC West Race
The Cardinals have plenty to play for. They are involved in a tight NFC West division race. Though they would like to make the running game prominent in Carolina with James Conner who is 27 yards short of a 1,000 yard season, they will need Kyler Murray to be hot and throwing on target passes.
The surging Los Angeles Rams who won three straight and Seattle Seahawks are tied for first place at 8-6. The Cardinals are one game behind at 7-7. Arizona beat the Rams in their first meeting and will face them again in Week 17 in Los Angeles. The Cardinals lost both divisional games to Seattle.
To sneak into the playoffs, they will have to clinch a wildcard spot. The best way to do that is to win out against the Panthers, Rams, and their Week 18 opponent, the NFC West’s surprising last place team, the 6-8 San Francisco 49ers.
