Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray continues to look very comfortable in Arizona’s offense this season, and now the Cardinals have a four-game win streak to back it up.

In Sunday’s 31-6 Week 10 victory over the New York Jets, Murray had a near-perfect game, completing 22-of-24 passes for 266 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed three times for 21 yards and two touchdowns.

In the midst of the dominating win, Murray ended the game with 17-straight completions, which set a new franchise record for consecutive completions in a game.

Murray’s total numbers were also historic:

“I think the quarterback was the best player on the planet today, so kudos to him,” coach Jonathan Gannon said postgame.

“When he has the ball in his hands, as a defensive guy, and time he gets a snap, you’re hanging onto your you know what. I thought he was lights out today.”

Even with four-straight wins and the last two coming in blow-out fashion, Murray was not all smiles with where the Cardinals are heading into the bye week. Arizona (6-4) also maintained its lead of first place in the NFC West with the victory.

“Not satisfied. I told you last week, I feel like our record could be better than this. I feel like I expected to be here. I feel like the team expected to be here,” Murray said postgame.

“We just gotta keep going. Gotta keep going.”
