In Arlington, Texas, Jacoby Brissett stepped in once again for Kyler Murray, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another as the Arizona Cardinals defeated the Dallas Cowboys 27-17. This victory halted a frustrating five-game losing streak for the Cardinals.
Brissett”s performance marked his third straight start after it was anticipated that Murray would return from a foot injury following the team”s bye week. Instead, the Cardinals opted for Brissett, who had previously struggled but found success on this occasion. With this win, Arizona improved to just two victories in their last 18 games when Murray did not play significant snaps or was sidelined entirely.
The Cowboys, who were looking to build on a promising moment when Sam Williams blocked a punt that was recovered for a touchdown by Marshawn Kneeland, could not capitalize on the momentum and fell short against the resilient Cardinals.
This game showcased Brissett”s capability as a reliable backup quarterback, giving the Cardinals hope as they look to turn their season around. As the team navigates through their challenges, this victory will serve as a much-needed boost in confidence moving forward.
