Overview
- The Cardinals have dropped five straight by a combined 13 points, with three defeats on last-second field goals and two on late touchdowns, a rarity last seen in 2017 per NFL Network.
- Arizona enters the break at 2-5, and historical trends since 2020 show teams with this start rarely reach the postseason.
- Gannon said “Nothing’s changed” on Murray’s status, with the quarterback aiming to return Nov. 3 at Dallas after missing two games.
- In two starts, Jacoby Brissett has thrown for 599 yards with four touchdowns and one interception, giving the passing game a noticeable jolt and producing the team’s top two offensive outings.
- Team leaders say the roster is still fighting, but coaches plan a deep review during the bye as the Nov. 4 trade deadline looms and significant roster moves appear unlikely.
