**Sick Kyler Murray Leads Cardinals to Nail-Biting Win Over Saints in Kellen Moore’s Debut**

NEW ORLEANS — Ailing Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray powered through illness to lead his team to a 20-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, spoiling rookie head coach Kellen Moore’s debut. Murray, despite feeling unwell, threw for 163 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for a score and tossing a shovel pass to James Conner for another.

The game came down to the wire. With seconds remaining, Saints tight end Juwan Johnson appeared to have a tying touchdown in his grasp, but Cardinals safeties Budda Baker and Jalen Thompson dislodged the ball just before Johnson hit the ground, securing the Cardinals’ win.

Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler, making his seventh career start, showed promise in his near comeback, throwing for 214 yards. Running back Alvin Kamara scored the Saints’ lone touchdown on an impressive 18-yard run. However, New Orleans was ultimately undone by a barrage of penalties, racking up 13 for 89 yards.

“We got a play at a higher standard,” Moore said about the penalties. “It’s not something that’s come up the last weeks. So, that’s a frustrating thing when it shows up on game day and puts us in some bad positions.”

While the Cardinals secured the win, the game wasn’t without its concerns. Linebacker Cody Simon and safety Joey Blount were both being evaluated for concussions.

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, now in his 15th season, recorded 1 1/2 sacks. He is now tied for 20th on the NFL list with Robert Mathis with 123.

The Cardinals (1-0) will host the Carolina Panthers next Sunday, while the Saints (0-1) will look to rebound against the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans.
