Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray wore a Sidney Crosby jersey. Was he taunting Philly fans?
Was Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray trying to troll Philadelphia fans with his choice of pregame clothing? It's possible.
Murray strode to the locker room Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field before the Cardinals upset the Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby jersey. The apparel choice didn't go unnoticed on the social media site X.

The responses to the slight ranged from questions about the jersey's size to critiquing of the troll job – especially since a certain Arizona team eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series last October.

Any Diamondbacks jersey would do.
He’s right there in Arizona. Doesn’t take much effort. Jeez! Can’t even taunt properly. Do we gotta show these guys everything! #GoBirds— ButtonPusher1 (@btnpshr1) December 31, 2023

As a Flyer fan, it would have been a better troll job if it was a Patrick Kane jersey.

Of course, he may be just a Crosby fan. Still, it's risky to poke the bear or Philadelphia fandom.
What were the Eagles wearing on arrival?
The Birds were going with a wide variety of outfits.
