The Facts: Murray heads toward his first career postseason game amid a late-season swoon that saw the Cardinals back into the playoffs. Despite the recent struggles, HC Kliff Kingsbury expects to see the best out of his quarterback come Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams. "I think this is what he's been waiting for for three years," Kingsbury said Wednesday. "He's a guy who wants to be playing for something and knows he's playing for something. "This is his first shot at the playoffs, and I expect him to probably play the best game of his career. I know he's going to give it everything he's got."

In Dallas, he was phenomenal, and again last week, he made some jaw-dropping throws and moved the ball up-and-down the field, even when he didn't get much help from his receivers.
