Cardinals Lose in Overtime to Jaguars Despite +4 Turnover Edge

The defeat sharpened scrutiny of Arizona’s execution after four takeaways yielded too few points.

Overview

  • Arizona fell 27-24 in overtime at State Farm Stadium despite a 4-0 takeaway edge, a rare outcome as outlets note NFL teams are 50-1 over the past 25 years in such games.
  • Jacksonville’s front produced six sacks and pressured Jacoby Brissett on roughly 46% of dropbacks, according to PFF’s early tracking.
  • The Cardinals mustered 55 rushing yards at 2.8 per carry with a depleted backfield, continuing a two-week slump on the ground.
  • End-game choices drew criticism, including not spiking after a late 31-yard completion, going for it on fourth-and-12, and a deep shot on fourth-and-four in overtime.
  • Brissett went 33-of-49 for 317 yards and a touchdown as Arizona dropped to 3-8 with eight losses in nine games and a 1-5 record in his starts; the team visits Tampa Bay next.
