In a much-needed turnaround, the Arizona Cardinals snapped their five-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. Jacoby Brissett, stepping in for the injured Kyler Murray, delivered a standout performance, throwing for two touchdowns and adding another score on the ground.
This marked Brissett”s third consecutive start, as hopes for Murray”s return from a foot injury faded throughout the week. Despite expectations of his comeback following the team”s open week, the Cardinals opted to continue with Brissett under center. This victory was only the second time in the past 18 games that the team triumphed when Murray did not play or took fewer than five snaps.
The Cowboys were unable to capitalize on a positive moment early in the game when Sam Williams blocked a punt, allowing Marshawn Kneeland to recover it in the end zone for a touchdown. However, this momentum did not translate into sustained success against the Cardinals” determined defense.
Brissett”s performance highlighted his ability to lead the team effectively, showcasing both his passing and running skills. The Cardinals” victory not only halted their losing streak but also provided a morale boost as they look to build on this success in the coming weeks.
