Brissett Shines But Cardinals Fall Short
1 Dec
Summary
- Brissett threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns against the Buccaneers.
- He connected with Marvin Harrison six times for 69 receiving yards.
- Brissett is likely to remain the starting quarterback for the Rams game.
In a closely contested game that ended in a 20-17 defeat against the Buccaneers, Cardinals quarterback Brissett showcased an impressive statistical outing. He completed 29 of 40 passes for 301 yards, tallying two touchdowns and one interception, while also contributing 16 rushing yards on three carries.
The veteran quarterback's performance was notable, especially with the return of Marvin Harrison from an appendectomy. Brissett found Harrison, his primary receiver, on six occasions for a total of 69 yards. He demonstrated his ability to distribute the ball widely, connecting with seven different pass catchers throughout the game.
Despite a late fourth-quarter opportunity to drive the Cardinals for a potential game-tying field goal, Brissett's consecutive incomplete passes ended the threat. However, with Kyler Murray (IR, foot) still in recovery and not yet ready to have his practice window opened, Brissett is anticipated to continue as the starting quarterback for their next home game against the Rams.
