NFL fans had priceless reactions after social media detectives put forward some compelling evidence about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finally breaking the “Call of Duty” curse.

For those unfamiliar, Kyler Murray is an avid COD gamer. But there’s a notion that he’s a little too obsessed with the video game, which might explain why his stats take a noticeable drop whenever a new Call of Duty game is released.
