The Minnesota Vikings are making plenty of noise in the 2026 NFL season, but some fans were more intrigued by the literal sound of quarterback Kyler Murray’s voice following the team’s 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn., on Sunday.
ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry interviewed Murray on the field after the game, asking the signal-caller about his thoughts on Minnesota’s defense.
Murray praised the Vikings’ stop unit, but fans were apparently more surprised by the way he sounded.
Tell that boy to stop trying to sound low pitched 😂

Standing just 5-foot-10, Murray is a relatively diminutive NFL quarterback, and his size has always been easy material for online trolls. Nevertheless, he’s not letting the outside noise affect him, with the Vikings rolling week after week.
Actions still speak louder in the NFL, and Murray and the Vikings continue to let their performance do the talking.
Against the Colts, the former Oklahoma Sooners star QB passed for only 150 yards and a touchdown with zero interceptions on 14/24 completions, while the Vikings’ defense stepped up and made life hard for the Colts. Indianapolis racked up just 218 total yards and scored only six points in the first three quarters.
Murray and the Vikings can further improve their unblemished record in Week 8, when they take on NFC North rivals Detroit Lions in a showdown at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.
