Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had one of his finest games ever on Sunday in a 41-10 home win over the L.A. Rams. He completed 17-of-21 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns. He had a “perfect” 158.3 passer rating. He added 59 rushing yards on five attempts.

However, despite the fantastic performance, he was overlooked for NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Instead, it went to New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara.

Kamara had 180 total yards from scrimmage (115 rushing, 65 receiving) and four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) in a 47-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
