Now entering his third season in the league, the quarterback, only 23, is already becoming a bit of a menace for opposition defenses. Registering over 3,000 passing yards in his previous two seasons, Murray almost broke the 4,000-mark in 2020.

With 26 passing touchdowns and 11 rushing, Murray is proving to the league that sleeping on him isn’t the best of ideas. Something that the Dallas Cowboys learn the hard way last season.

When the two sides met last season, the Cardinals trounced America’s Team on their home turf. Beating the Cowboys 38-10 at the AT&T Stadium, Murray ended the night with two passing touchdowns and got a rushing TD as well.

Yet still, Murray wasn’t satisfied with his performance that night. And a recent video might explain why the quarterback wanted to incur some more damage on the Cowboys.

When asked whether or not he was a fan of Cowboys growing up, Murray had a rather prompt response.

“F*ck no, they were always a*s,” he proceeded to say in the video. One can’t blame Murray for not being a fan of the Cowboys growing up.

The last time the Dallas Cowboys won a Super Bowl was back in 1996. A year before Murray was even born. The Cardinals will take on the Cowboys twice over the course of the upcoming season.

Once during a preseason game, and another in Week 17 of the regular season in what should be a crunch game for both teams with their eyes set on a playoff berth.

The Cardinals and Cowboys don’t share any history of beef. But perhaps Murray’s latest comments will make things a little more interesting when the two sides meet.
