NFL fans had priceless reactions after social media detectives put forward some compelling evidence about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finally breaking the “Call of Duty” curse.

For those unfamiliar, Kyler Murray is an avid COD gamer. But there’s a notion that he’s a little too obsessed with the video game, which might explain why his stats take a noticeable drop whenever a new Call of Duty game is released.

You may recall that Murray had an “independent clause” added to the $230.5 million contract extension he signed in 2022. Fans speculated that it was the Cardinals’ way of getting him to play less COD, but the organization removed the clause after facing immense backlash.

But for those who enjoy poking fun at Kyler Murray and his obsession with the popular video game franchise, we have bad news for you. It looks like the 2019 first-overall pick has finally broken the curse, based on his performance this season:

 

As we previously stated, social media had all sorts of priceless reactions to the new notion that Murray has broken the curse:

It doesn’t matter if you’re superstitious or not. The numbers and Murray’s record since the new COD game release don’t lie. Maybe Murray and the Cardinals really are different this year.

Kyler Murray Has Cardinals Sitting Atop NFC West

Sunday’s victory over Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets propelled Arizona to 6-4 on the season, keeping them atop the NFC West standings. The Cardinals are half a game up on the 5-4 San Francisco 49ers, who defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday to keep pace with Jonathan Gannon’s group.

The 4-5 Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks aren’t quite out of the race, either. Arizona was known for unraveling in the second half during Kliff Kingsbury’s four years as head coach, but they have a golden opportunity to rewrite history over the final stretch of the regular season.

Suspicious NFL Fans Are Accusing Deshaun Watson Of Using A Burner Account From The Locker Room At Halftime To Defend Himself During Browns’ Loss To Raiders

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.

Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.

That was then, and this is now.

It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.

The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.

Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.

Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season

Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.

He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.

He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.

Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.

Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.

“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.

“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”

He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.

“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”

Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.

That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.

The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
