A Disaster for Kyler Murray

Kyler Murray's first game with the Minnesota Vikings quickly turned into a nightmare.

The quarterback was
forced to leave the game in the first quarter after taking a hard hit to the head, before Minnesota completed a spectacular comeback to ultimately defeat the Green Bay Packers 39-22.

The incident occurred as Murray was attempting to convert a third-down run. After slipping before reaching the necessary yardage, he was hit in the head by Javon Bullard. The quarterback's helmet was knocked off and flew to the ground from the force of the collision.

Murray remained on the ground for a few moments before being attended to by medical staff. He then made his way back to the locker room under his own power, but his game was over. The Vikings
confirmed that he had been placed in the concussion protocol.

His replacement, Carson Wentz, then took over. After a difficult start to the game for Minnesota, the former quarterback gradually got the offense back on track. Notably, he connected with Justin Jefferson twice in the end zone.

A Spectacular Comeback by Minnesota

Trailing 22-17 heading into the fourth quarter, the Vikings capitalized on three consecutive turnovers by the Packers to completely turn the game around. Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason scored rushing touchdowns, before Jefferson sealed the victory with a spectacular second touchdown.

Jefferson finished with eight receptions for 92 yards, while Wentz completed 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards. Murray, meanwhile, completed only three of his five passes for 18 yards before leaving the game.

Another major surprise of the day: the Arizona Cardinals defied all expectations by dominating the Los Angeles Chargers 26-14.

Jacoby Brissett threw for 277 yards and a touchdown, while Trey McBride caught nine passes for 95 yards. Jeremiyah Love also scored on his NFL debut.

This victory marks Arizona's first win since November 2025 and gives Mike LaFleur a remarkable start to his tenure.
