Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football this week, but they won’t face Kyler Murray. The game at AT&T Stadium, where Murray has a pristine 9-0 record, will now be Dak Prescott versus Jacoby Brissett.
Murray, who is now missing his third straight game, had seemed on track to return for Monday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, but coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday it will instead be Brissett again.
Brissett has thrown four touchdown passes and just one interception since stepping in for Murray, but the Cardinals have lost five straight games and are coming off their bye after starting the season 2-0.
The Cowboys have never fared well against Murray, mainly because they struggle against dual-threat quarterbacks in general. The Cowboys defense is catching a break and they need all the help they can get given their recent performance. Not having to chase Murray around will certainly help.
We’ll have the Cowboys full injury report later today.
