The Arizona Cardinals got their quarterback, Kyler Murray, back in action Sunday after missing the last month with an ankle injury. It did not take long for Murray to get back into the swing of things, as he led the Cardinals to a dominant win over the Chicago Bears, 33-22.
After the win, Murray spoke with FOX Sports' Shannon Spake about the win.

Murray talked about what it was like to be back on the field.
“I was a little rusty… It felt good to be back with these guys… it was good to be back… I'm blessed with a great group of guys that love this game,” said Murray. “I couldn't ask for a better group.”
The game featured tough weather with rain falling throughout. That limited Murray and the Cardinals passing game somewhat.
Murray finished 11-15 for 123 yards passing, with two passing touchdowns. He did his usual damage on the ground again, rushing for 59 yards and two more scores.
With the win, the Arizona Cardinals improved to 10-2 on the season. That helps them maintain their lead atop the conference as the overall #1 seed. The Cardinals also improved to a very impressive 7-0 on the road.
Arizona will need to keep winning as the Packers and Buccaneers are breathing down their neck for the only first round bye.
Next week, the Cardinals host the division rival Los Angeles Rams in a pivotal matchup. If they win that game, that would sweep the season series and essentially wrap up the NFC West division.
