Jacoby Brissett is getting another opportunity to showcase his talents as he starts for the Arizona Cardinals in their Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Brissett, a veteran quarterback known for his journey across the league, will aim to keep pace with Dak Prescott and the explosive Cowboys offense while Kyler Murray remains sidelined due to injury.
Murray is currently nursing a mid-foot sprain, which has kept him out of action, prompting the Cardinals to turn to Brissett. Reports indicate there might be a possibility for Murray to have some involvement during the game, but for now, Brissett is the one leading the charge.
Brissett has already made two starts this season, with performances that showcased his ability to manage the game effectively. In his first game against the Indianapolis Colts on October 12, he completed 27 of 44 passes for 320 yards, throwing two touchdown passes while also throwing one interception. The following week, he faced the Green Bay Packers, achieving 25 completions on 36 attempts for 279 yards and adding another two touchdowns to his season tally. Over these two games, he totaled nine carries for 45 yards, demonstrating his capability to contribute on the ground as well.
The Cardinals are hopeful that Brissett can capitalize on the primetime spotlight against the Cowboys, who are known for their high-powered offensive plays. With the stakes high and the audience watching, Brissett”s performance could be pivotal for the Cardinals” season.
As the game approaches, all eyes will be on how Brissett handles the pressure and if he can lead the Cardinals to a vital victory against a formidable opponent.
