Kyler Murray Fires Back At Patrick Peterson Over Podcast Comments

Dec 1, 2022 8:41 AM

Kyler Murray responded to former teammate Patrick Peterson after the Minnesota Vikings cornerback criticized the Arizona Cardinals quarterback on his podcast.

"Kyler Murray don't care about nobody but Kyler Murray," Peterson said. "That's just a matter of the fact."

Peterson and his co-host, Bryant McFadden, were discussing whether they believed Kliff Kingsbury would end up being the "scapegoat" for an Arizona season gone awry. The Cardinals are currently on their bye week at 4-8.

In a tweet posted just hours after a clip from Peterson's show, "All Things Covered," was released, Murray wrote: "This isn't true...you on some weird sh-- @P2 you got my number, if you really felt like this as a 'big bro' or 'mentor' you supposed to call me and tell me, not drag me so your podcast can grow...."
