Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray caught the attention of Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby when he wore the NHLer’s jersey into Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday ahead of a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I’d love to know the story behind it. I have somewhat of an idea, but it would be cool to hear the story behind it,” Crosby told reporters Tuesday.

Walking into Philadelphia wearing Pittsburgh gear isn’t exactly common, and it’s unclear why Murray decided to sport Crosby’s jersey as he has no connection to the Pens star. Maybe he just wanted to troll the city’s fans?

If Murray was trying to troll Philly sports fans, he certainly backed it up by leading the Cardinals to a huge 35-31 upset of the Eagles on Sunday.
Murray threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns against one interception and running back James Conner rushed for 128 yards and one score as Arizona outscored Philadelphia 29-10 in the second half to claim the victory after scoring just six points in the first half.
The loss dropped the Eagles to 11-5 on the season and 1-4 in their last five games.
