Quincy Williams drilled Kyler Murray so hard that the Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback lost his helmet, which went backward.

During the second quarter of the Cardinals-New York Jets contest in Arizona, an unblocked Williams came right at Kyler Murray and leveled him with a bone-crunching hit. The force was so powerful that Murray’s helmet popped right off and rolled backward like a loose football:

Thankfully, Kyler Murray wasn’t injured and got right back up as if nothing had happened. Quite impressive, given that Murray doesn’t have the biggest frame as a quarterback (5-foot-10, 207 pounds).

 

Murray and his Cardinals are rolling against Aaron Rodgers and the visiting New York Jets today. They carried a 24-6 lead into halftime, with Murray throwing for 199 yards and one touchdown to go along with a rushing score.

Kyler Murray Has Cardinals In Playoff Contention

As Cardinals fans know, a healthy Murray can make all the difference in the world. The 2019 first-overall pick is healthy for the first time since 2021, and his Cardinals are on their way to sitting atop the NFC West with a 6-4 record.

VIDEOS: Social Media Detectives Uncovered A Ridiculous Amount Of Fishy Calls By NFL Refs During Chiefs-Broncos Game That Should Have Everyone Yelling “FIXED”

Social media detectives put together an eye-catching video of the NFL refs making several calls that benefited the Kansas City Chiefs in their 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.

Patrick Mahomes and the defending champions narrowly squeaked out a two-point victory to stay undefeated, thanks to a game-winning block on Wil Lutz’s 35-yard field goal attempt on the game’s final play. But this win did not come without some questionable calls by the NFL refs today.

The Chiefs have been on the right side of several game-changing officiating calls in 2024, and today was no different. The ML Football X/Twitter account shared a thread of Kansas City benefited from several botched calls by the officials, including an obvious holding penalty by the o-line that was missed:

Secondly, head official Brad Allen and the NFL refs called a head-scratching “illegal hands to the face” penalty on the Broncos that wiped out a game-changing sack on Mahomes:

And finally, an uncalled offensive holding penalty that led to Travis Kelce’s touchdown, the only major Kansas City put up today:

 

Those were certainly some bad calls/non-calls by the officials, but it doesn’t determine the outcome of the game. The Broncos essentially had to kick an extra point to win the game, and their special teams couldn’t block for Wil Lutz.

NFL Refs Have Been A Top Storyline This Year…Again

It’s never a good thing when the NFL officials are featured in the news. It means they’re making too many mistakes at key points of the games.

That has been the case again in 2024, but there’s also no indicator that the league will do anything to try and improve the quality of officiating. So fans just have to live with it, whether they like it or not.
