Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins combine to lead Arizona Cardinals

When Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray wasn’t hitting wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins — who set a career-high with 14 receptions Sunday — he was carrying Arizona to a 24-20 win against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium with career highs of his own.

The second-year quarterback finished with 91 yards rushing on a career-high 13 carries, including a 22-yard touchdown run that gave the Cardinals their first lead of the game with 6:38 left in the fourth quarter. Murray had 100 yards rushing, which would have been a career high, until two kneel-downs on the game’s final two plays set him back.

In his debut with the Cardinals, Hopkins had 14 catches for 151 yards. His previous career high was 12 catches in Week 17 of the 2018 season as a member of the Houston Texans.

Murray’s previous career high was 93 yards rushing, which he set in Week 5 last season at the Cincinnati Bengals.

Murray utilized his speed and quickness all day on a mixture of short and long runs. In addition to the 22-yard scramble, Murray had runs of 25, 15 and 11 yards, as well as a two for eight yards and one for nine.
