Gannon: Murray’s response to big hit was…
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon experienced the terror of seeing his quarterback Kyler Murray’s helmet shot off his head after a blindside hit from New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams on Sunday.
That moment of panic for the team and fanbase alike passed quickly, as Murray popped up and led the offense into the end zone three plays later to take a commanding 21-6 lead in a 31-6 victory.
“You don’t like to see your quarterback get hit in the back of the head like that. I was just like, how could his helmet fly off like that?” Gannon explained to Arizona Sports’ Burns & Gambo on Monday.
“I did not like that. The response of that drive after he got hit like that was, I mean, unbelievable. So he throws a third down conversion and he throws a touchdown pass, two dime balls. It’s like, ‘Whoa, man.’ Just kind of speaks to his toughness. … We can’t allow that to happen.”
