Jacoby Brissett Benched as Gardner Minshew Leads Cardinals Comeback Against Cowboys
Gardner Minshew finished 17-of-23 for 188 yards and three touchdowns after replacing Jacoby Brissett, and Arizona rallied from 17-3 down.
On Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals benched quarterback Jacoby Brissett for Gardner Minshew during their game against the Dallas Cowboys, rallying to a dramatic 33-30 overtime victory.
Head coach Mike LaFleur benched Brissett after he completed 10-of-23 passes for 119 yards and one interception, with Arizona trailing 17-3 at the time of the change.
Minshew finished 17-of-23 for 188 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Michael Wilson for a 13-yard touchdown before Chad Ryland kicked the game-winning field goal.
The veteran quarterback likely earned more playing time moving forward, though Arizona must now decide whether to stick with Minshew or give Brissett another opportunity to reclaim the role.
Designated as the emergency third quarterback, rookie Carson Beck remained inactive and could not enter the game, closing off opportunities to evaluate him this season.
