The star QB, who signed a $370m contract extension in the off-season, was roasted on social media for wearing a lime green suit into the stadium ahead of the clash.
NFL fans had a field day, comparing him the late Queen and comparing his outfit to a bottle of soft drink.
Brenden Deeg, NFL editor at The Score, wrote: “Kyler Murray with one of the worst pre-game fits I have ever seen.”

Things went from bad to worse for Murray when the game got underway as the star completely botched a potentially game-trying drive.
With under a minute on the clock and the Cardinals trailing 20-17, Murray was driving his team downfield when he took off on second and 10.
Murray found a gaping hole in the Eagles defence before he slid to the turf, ultimately coming up short
Unfortunately he thought he had covered enough ground for a first down and went back behind his offensive line before spiking the ball.
The mistake resulted in the Cardinals having to attempt a long-range field goal which sailed wide and handed the Eagles the win.
Here's the ending of the Cardinals-Eagles game.

-2nd down: Kyler Murray slides 1 yard short of the first down
-3rd down: Kyler spikes it with 22 seconds left, making it 4th & 1 so they had to attempt a game-tying FG...
-4th down: They miss the FG
Disastrous ending for them ð pic.twitter.com/oydy8FDg43
