Murray and wide receiver Deandre Hopkins formed an impressive pair for the Cardinals last year, and they will look to build on that this season. Arizona bolstered its defense with the addition of Pro-Bowl pass rusher J.J. Watt from the Houston Texans.
For the Titans, Derrick Henry has been one of the best running backs in the NFL since his 2016 debut. Wide receiver A.J. Brown has emerged as the top target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The addition of Pro-Bowl receiver Julio Jones could help take the pressure off Brown and expand Tannehill's options.
No matter who comes out on top in this game, every viewer should be a winner as two of the top contenders in the NFL clash.
