Five-touchdown season debut Murray completed 21 of 32 passes for 289 yards, four touchdowns and one interception at Tennessee on Sunday. He added 20 yards and a fifth touchdown rushing. Impact Murray directed a highly efficient showing for wideouts DeAndre Hopkins (six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns on eight targts), Christian Kirk (five catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns on five targets) and rookie second-round pick Rondale Moore (four catches for 68 yards on five targets). A.J. Green was less effective (two catches for 25 yards on six targets), but it still seems safe to say the new-look Arizona offense could be even more potent than the 2020 one. Although the Minnesota defense will pose more of a pass-rushing threat in Week 2 than the Titans did Sunday, the Vikings cornerback rotation might be thin enough for Murray to capitalize.
