NFL Week 10 Game Recap: Arizona Cardinals 25, Atlanta Falcons 23

The Arizona Cardinals took down the Atlanta Falcons 25-22 in Kyler Murray’s first game back from injury.

Offensive spotlight: In his first NFL action since tearing his ACL, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray went 19-for-32 for 249 yards, though he did have a particularly bad interception across the middle in the third quarter. We saw his mobility on display early, with Murray using his legs to avoid a sack, and he finished the game with 33 rushing yards.

With Taylor Heinicke getting the start at quarterback again, the Falcons passing offense struggled to get things going. He went 8-for-15 for 55 yards before being hurt and replaced by Desmond Ridder, who went four-for-six for 39 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Defensive spotlight: Nate Landman continued a nice first season as a starter with more big plays for the Falcons defense in this game. He had the interception of Murray over the middle and brought the Cardinals quarterback down for an 11-yard loss.

Rookie spotlight: Paris Johnson Jr. had the best game of his career, both overall and in pass protection according to our first pass at grading in this game. The Cardinals saw plenty of rookies getting work on defense again, with Starling Thomas V, Garrett Williams, BJ Ojulari and Dante Stills all seeing 20 or more snaps.

Bijan Robinson saw the heaviest workload as a runner of his young career, turning 22 carries into 95 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one pass for 11 yards.
