The Arizona Cardinals took an early 7-0 lead over the New York Jets on a 29-yard touchdown run by Chase Edmonds. Naturally, quarterback Kyler Murray wanted to celebrate.
However, things didn’t go as planned. He jumped up to connect with offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum.
This is what happened.

Murray was not prepared for the force of Beachum’s contact.
Beachum, the Cardinals’ starting right tackle, is 6-foot-3 and 308 pounds. Murray is 5-foot-10 and 207 pounds. The result is more or less what you would expect.
Murray ended up on the ground.
Offensive linemen are supposed to protect quarterbacks, not knock them to the ground.
It would appear they need to practice that celebration a little.
