GLENDALE, Ariz. — Kyler Murray is back.

In his first game in 335 days on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, the Arizona Cardinals quarterback scored on a six-yard run late in the second quarter. Taking the snap out of the shotgun with the ball at the Falcons 6, Murray faked a handoff to running back James Conner then tucked the ball and took off to his left.

With a massive hole awaiting him, Murray scampered in for the touchdown, extending the ball over the goal line as he broke the plane to pull within 14-12. Arizona couldn’t convert the two-point conversion.
