Next up for the Cardinals: What will the franchise do about a backup QB?

Next up for the Cardinals: What will the franchise do about a backup QB?

So, the quarterback circus going forward is now solved. Well, at least for the next four weeks.

The back and forth between whether Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett would be the starting quarterback ended on Wednesday when the franchise placed Murray on IR in an effort to get him more time to heal for an ankle injury he suffered in the Tennessee Titans game in Week 5.

Brissett is now the undisputed starting signalcaller for at least a month. The offense has been successful in the three games he has controlled the game plan,...

When asked how he thought QB Jacoby Brissett played against Dallas, Gannon stated:

*“I thought he played well. Thought he operated. We had one protection issue. That’s on me. We got to do a better job with that. We just got to keep him clean, and he shows how he can deliver the football. He battles. He has gotten...

The change has been made.

The Arizona Cardinals moved to Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback before their matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. What that means for the rest of the season, who knows, but for this week the Cardinals won’t try and hide who their starter is.

And, they are coming off a win for the first time since September,...

Cardinals 2025 draft class balling out

Every year, taking players from the college ranks has been the basis of improving every roster in the NFL. April’s NFL draft is one of the most important aspects of building a team and plugging holes.

This year, the Arizona Cardinals’ GM Monti Ossenfort focused on getting quality players for the defensive side of the ball. With seven picks, he chose six defenders with OG Hayden Conner of Texas the lone offensive guy.

The Arizona Cardinals are moving on.

They have decided that Jacoby Brissett will start against the Seattle Seahawks, and presumably moving forward as they look to maintain position in the NFC Playoff race.

The decision comes after Brissett and the Cardinals beat the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, in which Brissett had 261 yards passing a two touchdowns to go along with his first rushing touchdown on the season.

Brissett is 1-2 as a starter.

Now the question becomes is this a complete benching or is this just this week moving into the position of softening the blow?

Arizona Cardinals big underdogs ahead of matchup with Seattle Seahawks

The Arizona Cardinals won in primetime on the road.

The books don’t care.

According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Arizona Cardinals are 6.5-point underdogs ahead of their matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Cardinals on the road this season are 4-0 against the spread, even if they are only 2-2 on the road this season.

So, with the line sitting at a touchdown, you have to like the chances of the Cardinals covering, even if it is on the road in Seattle.

The Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals in week four 23-20.

The Arizona Cardinals took on the high-flying Dallas Cowboys in front of a national audience on Monday Night Football. It is estimated that six million viewers would be watching at home while the stadium was slammed full to the tune of over 100,000 in attendance.

The Cardinals could not afford another loss. Every team in the NFC West Division won this weekend, so Arizona did not want to get further behind.

Arizona Cardinals snap 5-game losing streak in Monday Night Football win vs. Cowboys

It was never close, but everyone was waiting on something to change, because it has fallen apart every week.

Yet, in this one they found a team who didn’t exactly play their smartest game, and the Arizona Cardinals found enough plays to hold on and win this one, despite another interesting fourth quarter.

The Cowboys bypassed a field goal that would have made it a 14-point game early in the fourth quarter and the Cardinals once again failed to do much on offense in the quarter. Yet, they made a couple of plays on defense this time.

After two quarters the Arizona Cardinals have a lead.

Maybe the bye week is what will make the difference.

The Cardinals have had some help, three drops by the Dallas Cowboys and a fumble by Jake Ferguson, put the Cardinals in position to get some stops.

In fact, the Cowboys first points came on a miscue by the Cardinals special teams, as they blocked the punt after the Cardinals recovered the fumble by Ferguson.

The response was perfect. You saw maybe the best drive of the season called by Drew Petzing, and the Cardinals were able to take advantage of...

It is primetime NFL action and the Arizona Cardinals are involved.

That is something we rarely see, and after this season, we may not see for another couple of years, but at least we get this to enjoy as fans.

Tonight, the Cardinals with Jacoby Brissett look to move to 3-5 on the season and keep the faintest of hopes alive for the playoffs.

They’ll have to slow down a Cowboys offense that is elite at home.

Let’s hope for the best.
