The Arizona Cardinals suffered a 45-21 defeat to the Detroit Lions in Week 5. All 19 players who participated in at least one offensive snap were accounted for. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, a starter, had a snap count of 73 out of 100. Not playing were backup Gardner Minshew II and third QB Carson Beck (emergency). Quarterback pressure led to five sacks against the Cardinals.
Brissett completed 292 yards and threw three touchdowns, but most of those occurred in the second half when the game was out of hand. Running backs Jeremiyah Love (36/49) and Tyler Allgeier (32/44) had limited carries, while Bam Knight (6/8) saw minimal action. Wide receivers struggled to get open due to man coverage and pressure.
Michael Wilson had only four receptions for 30 yards. Tight ends Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins had productive games, with Quitoriano making his first appearance on the active roster. Offensive linemen Jayden Williams and Isaac Seumalo started every snap.
