Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray saw almost one quarter of playing time in the team's first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs and posted a solid showing outside of one big mistake. In the 20-17 victory, Murray finished with 96 yards on 7-for-8 passing with one interception, and two carries for nine yards. While the interception was quite the egregious mistake, since the throw was straight to the defense, his play overall was what everyone would expect. He found Michael Wilson for a 12-yard gain and hit Marvin Harrison Jr. for a 15-yard play, while peppering in a couple of scrambles before the first drive came to an end. In the second drive, he added a couple of 20-yard plays to two different pass-catchers and ultimately led the team to a field goal. Murray had high expectations last season and finished as a fringe QB1. He's likely to remain around the same area if he stays healthy.

The Cincinnati Bengals' starters will see a good amount of action in Monday's second preseason game against the Washington Commanders, according to head coach Zac Taylor. The Bengals played their starters for several series in last week's 34-27 preseason-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Quarterback Joe Burrow was sharp in completing 9-of-10 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns, while No. 1 wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught four balls for 77 yards and a score, and running back Chase Brown had five carries for 23 yards. The Bengals are trying to get into a rhythm before the regular season begins to avoid another slow start. They've opened 0-2 or worse three times in a row, and their failure to come out of the gates quickly has contributed to back-to-back seasons without a playoff berth.
