Overview
- Starting for the injured Kyler Murray, Brissett accounted for three touchdowns in a 27-17 Monday Night Football win over the Cowboys.
- In the victory, he became the first Cardinals quarterback since 2015 to log three straight games with at least 200 passing yards and two passing touchdowns.
- Arizona’s offense has surged with Brissett, averaging 287 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and 25.7 points per game compared with 192.4, 1.2 and 20.6 under Murray this season.
- Gannon said “nothing’s changed” about Murray’s status as the No. 1 quarterback, with Murray sidelined since Week 6 by a foot injury.
- Brissett is signed through 2026 on a two-year, $12.5 million deal that includes a $4.88 million base salary in 2026, a team-friendly structure that observers say could prompt offseason trade discussions.
