6 observations on offense in Arizona Cardinals' Week 4 loss

A look at what happened on offense for the Cardinals in their loss to the Giants.

The Arizona Cardinals suffered a 36-24 loss to the New York Giants in Week 4, coming just yards short of their first 30-point season total and one play away from an even record. The offense made a hot start, scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions. However, their performance took a nosedive after those initial drives, gaining only 138 yards in the remaining 11 possessions.

The team turned the ball over three times and three-and-out six times in those later possessions. Jacoby Brissett had his worst game, throwing three interceptions, including the game-winning interception on fourth-and-goal. This marked his first career three-interception game. Brissett's passing accuracy was abysmal, completing just 21 of 35 passes for 166 yards and an atrocious 4.7 yards per attempt.

His performance in critical situations was even worse, failing to produce a game-winning touchdown in seven such opportunities throughout his career. Trey McBride, despite being involved in 7 receptions, struggled to maintain his average of 6.1 yards per catch and has been limited in his overall impact. Zach Love saw a reduction in his role, rushing for 63 yards on 14 carries and one reception for a loss. However, he was notably absent on the crucial final drive when the offense failed to score.
