Cardinals win thriller over the NY Jets
Kyler Murray three touchdowns, Sam Darnold four touchdowns. In a showdown of the top two quarterbacks taken a year ago, the Cardinals came away with a thrilling 35-32 victory. DeAndre Hopkins was held to just 1 reception for 14 yards - but that didn't matter in the grand scheme of things as Christian Kirk was the star receiver, coming away with two touchdowns off 5 receptions for 135 yards. Jamison Crowder was the fantasy winner for the Jets, earning 8 receptions for 152 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort.
