Arizona were trailing 20-0. A second loss of the season was on cards. And then, Kyler Murray came to rescue. He ran all over the field, 84.9 yards on a 2-point conversion, toyed with the Las Vegas defense and brought his side back in the game.

Murray found AJ Green in the back of the end zone for the conversion and the game was sent to overtime at 23-23. 

The Raiders stopped Murray on downs on Arizona’s opening drive of overtime, but Renfrow then made a catch and fumbled for the second consecutive play. Isaiah Simmons knocked it loose, and Murphy snagged the ball and sprinted down the Cardinals’ sideline to the end zone with his ecstatic teammates in pursuit for a frenzied celebration.

Murphy nearly ruined his own heroics when he released the ball from his hand right at the goal line, but video review determined he barely scored.

Davante Adams and Darren Waller caught early touchdown passes from Derek Carr for the Raiders (0-2), who had the ball for less than 10 minutes in the second half while Murray worked his magic. Carr passed for 252 yards — just 42 after halftime —- as Las Vegas lost a home opener for the first time since relocating to Nevada.

Murray was playing his second game since signing a $230.5 million, five-year contract extension. He passed for just 53 yards in the first half, but racked up 188 yard through the air and 28 more on the ground in the second half. He found Greg Dortch for an early TD, and Darrel Williams rushed for a score with 8:13 left. 

Murray then led Arizona on a 73-yard TD drive in the final 4:43 of regulation, capping it with his cool TD scramble on fourth down as time expired after three incompletions.
