JACKSONVILLE — Byron Murphy caught a glimpse of J.J. Watt bearing down on Trevor Lawrence and figured the pass would be underthrown.
Murphy intercepted two passes, including the one he returned for a touchdown following a botched flea-flicker, and the Arizona Cardinals rallied to beat the skidding Jacksonville Jaguars 31-19 on Sunday.
“The ball was in the air for a little bit, so it gave me time to get there,” said Murphy, a 2019 second-round draft pick who got beat on a flea-flicker in Week 1 at Tennessee.
The Cardinals improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2015.
