Jacoby Brissett made his third straight start with Kyler Murray sidelined by a foot injury, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for another to lift Arizona to a 27-17 victory over Dallas. Coach Jonathan Gannon declined to commit to naming a new starter, saying Murray was not quite ready and offering no definitive response on whether Brissett had done enough to replace him. The win ended a five-game losing streak and improved Arizona to 3-5. Dallas opened with momentum, including a blocked punt returned for a score, but yielded long touchdown drives and several big plays that swung the game to Arizona.
"Jacoby Brissett had a stock answer ready for the question of whether the Arizona quarterback has done enough to be the replacement, not just the fill-in, for Kyler Murray. Coach Jonathan Gannon barely had an answer at all. The Cardinals will worry about what appears to be a full-blown controversy later. For now, they'll enjoy ending a five-game losing streak. Brissett threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score in another game with Murray sidelined by a foot injury,"
"Marvin Harrison had a career-high seven catches for 96 yards, including a four-yarder for the game's first touchdown. After their punt block and recovery for a score, the Cowboys gave up an average of 10.8 yards on the next 15 Arizona plays, including consecutive 16-yard passes right after the Dallas TD and Michael Wilson's 50-yard catch and run on the second play after halftime."
