What's Happening?
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett made history by setting an NFL record for the most completions in a regular-season game. Brissett completed 47 of 57 pass attempts, amassing 452 yards, two
touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. This performance ties the record set by Ben Roethlisberger in a 2021 playoff game. Despite Brissett's individual success, the Cardinals have struggled, losing five of their last six games. Brissett has been starting in place of the injured Kyler Murray, who is expected to return in Week 14.
Why It's Important?
Brissett's record-setting performance underscores his capability as a starting quarterback, even in challenging circumstances. His ability to deliver high completion rates and significant yardage highlights his potential value to the Cardinals and other teams. However, the Cardinals' continued losses indicate broader team issues that extend beyond quarterback performance. This situation emphasizes the need for a comprehensive team strategy to improve overall performance and competitiveness in the league.
What's Next?
The Cardinals will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12, where Brissett will aim to lead the team to a much-needed victory. The team will also be preparing for the return of Kyler Murray, which could shift dynamics and strategies. The Cardinals' management will need to assess Brissett's role moving forward, considering his recent performances and Murray's impending return.
