Kyler Murray scored the first touchdown of the afternoon in the Arizona Cardinals-San Francisco 49ers game in Week 5. Murray began the Cardinals first drive of the game with a 22-yard completion to Trey McBride who was pushed out of bounds at midfield.
On the next play Murray faked a handoff out of the pistol formation and ran to the right. Thanks to some good blocking a hole opened up for Murray who saw daylight and appeared to begin his touchdown celebration by pointing his index finger towards the sky around the 43-yard line.
Bye bye Ky 👋 @AZCardinals take an early lead!

Can you imagine how fast you have to be to know you're going to score from the 40 in an NFL game? Murray immediately knew there was no one on the field who was going to be able to catch him. The audacity! The hubris!
And he was 100% right! No one even got close enough to attempt a futile leap in his general direction.
Is Kyler Murray the fastest man alive? When you see something like this you have to at least wonder.
