Jacoby Brissett benched in favor of Gardner Minshew as Cardinals struggle vs. Cowboys

Jacoby Brissett couldn't get things going against an exploitable Cowboys defense in Week 8.

In Week 8, the Dallas Cowboys provided a challenging opponent for the Arizona Cardinals. While the Cardinals had struggled, Jacoby Brissett had delivered solid performances up until that point. However, things changed dramatically during the game. At the end of the third quarter, Brissett was replaced by Gardner Minshew. This decision came after Brissett had thrown for only 119 yards, committed an interception, and suffered four sacks, two of them occurring in quick succession on the Cardinals' final drive.

The team was already down 17-3 at this stage. Minshew entered the game with around 1:35 remaining in the quarter. He immediately threw a pass, and then witnessed Tyler Allgeier sprint for a 63-yard touchdown run, narrowing the score to just one point. Updates to this report are forthcoming.
