We’re officially in the second half of the 2023 NFL season, the time when some teams are starting to turn their attention to next April’s NFL Draft. Meanwhile, playoff contenders are assessing their fitness for title runs.
Let’s get to the five questions for this week’s NFL Cheat Sheet.
1. Kyler Murray looked good in his first game back. Can the Cardinals rebuild around him?

If Arizona has the first overall pick, I’m sure there will be all sorts of talk about quarterbacks. And maybe the Cards take one. I don’t know.
