Could Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 release give Saints an edge vs. Kyler Murray?

Yeah, no, there’s nothing to this. But we’re going to share a quick laugh together anyway. If the New Orleans Saints take care of business against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night (and our staff picks like them to do just that), it won’t be because Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is in a rush to get home and log onto his Xbox Live account. It’ll be because they put in the work to prepare for this game and executed a well-thought-out plan to outplay Arizona.

Still, it’s a lot funnier to joke about the alternative. And with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign opening up to early access preorders on Thursday, Oct. 20 (the full game and, most crucially, its multiplayer features, release on Oct. 28), it’s a coincidence we can’t help but mark. Murray is an avid gamer and often streams his sessions on Twitch to audiences approaching 100,000 live viewers, and he’s often said the Call of Duty franchise is among his favorites.
