Kyler Murray led Arizona Cardinals have been on scintillating form this season. The NFC West leaders have won 9 out of their 11 matches with only 2 losses in what has been a near perfect campaign so far.
What makes their campaign even more impressive is the fact that their performances haven’t dropped in the absence of star QB Kyler Murray. Luckily for them, the star QB is soon set to make his return in Cardinals’ next match against the Bears.

In only eight games this season, Kyler Murray has put up some mind-boggling numbers. He has 2,276 passing yards and has scored an impressive 17 touchdowns. Moreover, his all round play skills mean that he also has seven interceptions to go along with a 72.7 percent completion rate.
The fact that the Cardinals haven’t struggled to a great extent in his absence makes Murray’s return scarier. And for a scary scenario like this, the Cardinals’ announcement of Murray’s return was on point. They released the official statement of Murray’s return in a crumpled paper with a somber font announcing the terrifying enigma’s return with two words – “I’m Back.”
