Kyler Murray pulled a Carson Wentz. It didn’t end well.

Kyler Murray pulled a Carson Wentz in Arizona’s playoff game against the Rams. In this case, that’s a bad thing.
The Colts quarterback had a tendency to occasionally attempt to avoid a sack by tossing the football away with his left hand. Sometimes, it’d fall into the arms of a defender.
Murray did the same thing in the second quarter on Monday night in the Cardinals’ wild card game against the Rams. It didn’t end well.
