Kyler Murray is one of the most effective quarterbacks in the league once a play breaks down. We’ve seen it time and time again as Murray turns a broken play into a highlight.
But Murray’s improvisation skills can also confuse his own offensive line, apparently.
During the first quarter of Sunday’s Week 9 game against the Bears, Murray stepped up in the pocket on third down and looked ready to take off running. But all that stopped when his own center Hjalte Froholdt grabbed hold of Murray and brought him down. The sack was credited to Kevin Byard III, but it was awfully clear that Murray was sacked by his own lineman.
KB brings down Murray 💪

We’d like to say this was the first time Murray’s own lineman has sacked him, but it’s happened before!

No wonder NFL fans had jokes about the play. How does that even happen?
This was how Twitter/X reacted
That’s a #Bears half sack for both Kevin Byard and Hjalte Froholdt
Froholdt is a center for the Cardinals
