Seattle Seahawks<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n“I don’t get into that stuff, man,” Brissett said. “I’m just trying to go out here and win games, be a good teammate and do the best that I can when I get my opportunity.<\/p>\n
“That’s all I can ask for.”<\/p>\n
In his three starts, Brissett is averaging 256 passing yards per game and 7.7 yards per attempt, and has thrown for six touchdowns against one interception. Murray averaged 170 passing yards per game and 6.0 yards per attempt, and threw for six touchdowns against three interceptions in his five starts this season. Each has run for one touchdown, despite Murray rushing 14 more times and for 122 more yards. Brissett has thrown for 860 total passing yards in three games while Murray has thrown for 962 in five.<\/p>\n
The offense has been more productive statistically with Brissett running it, averaging 25.7 offensive points per game compared to 18.8 when Murray starts and 357 yards per game with Brissett against 288.4 with Murray.<\/p>\n
Brissett has stood out on third down, as well. Arizona is converting 56% of third downs in Brissett’s starts and 40% in Murray’s.<\/p>\n
The Cardinals also gained 15 first downs in the first half against the Cowboys, which tied for the most first downs in a half this season — matching the second half in Indianapolis in Week 6, another Brissett start. In three games, Brissett has thrown for 44 first downs compared Murray throwing for 50 in his five games.<\/p>\n
Yet Brissett deflected any credit for the offense finding its rhythm and success with him running the scheme.<\/p>\n
He said it’s a matter of the Cardinals’ offense figuring itself out after a slow start to the season.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think it’s me. I really don’t,” he said. “I think it’s just everybody gets caught up in the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n
“And the good teams in this league find ways to continue to get better, and that’s what we’re doing at this point in the season, is just finding ways to continue to get better. You tweak things, you go back to the drawing board. We’re going to go back after this game and say we should have did this better, that better, that better. And I think that’s what we’re doing a good job [of]. And like I said, I really don’t think it’s me, I just think it’s over the time and through the season, I think we’ll continue to get better.”<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr<\/a>., who set a career high with seven catches Monday, said Brissett does a good job of communicating his likes and dislikes, and what he’s looking for with both his teammates and his coaches.<\/p>\n“Just kind of making sure we’re all in the right positions to kind of be successful,” Harrison said, “and then he just does his part.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh WeinfussNov 4, 2025, 05:59 PM CloseJosh Weinfuss is a staff writer who covers the Arizona Cardinals and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":261445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-261444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
