Quarterback Jacoby Brissett is the unquestioned starter for the Arizona Cardinals, and his pretty consistent play over 14 starts dating back to last season has created a level of stability.
However, it has not led to success, especially against NFC West opponents.
Brissett is now 0-5 against NFC West teams since taking over for Kyler Murray at quarterback, and all five of those losses have been by at least three scores.
- 2025, Week 10: Seahawks 44, Cardinals 22
- 2025, Week 11: 49ers 41, Cardinals 22
- 2025, Week 14: Rams 45, Cardinals 17
- 2025, Week 18: Rams 37, Cardinals 20
- 2026, Week 2: Seahawks 31, Cardinals 7
Brissett has thrown nine interceptions for the Cardinals in 14 starts. Five of those have been in those five starts against the NFC West.
Now, obviously, the defense factors into the Cardinals' lack of recent success against division opponents, as they have allowed 31 or more points in every one of those contests.
However, the offense
has not produced in the first half of those games. In five games, they have scored 40 total first-half points, never scoring more than 10. In four of those five games, they trailed by multiple scores at halftime.
Brissett and the Cardinals must turn things around on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
