Cardinals’ Jacoby Brissett Has Alarming NFC West Stat

Todd Matthews highlights that Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett has struggled against NFC West rivals in 2026. Despite a 68.8 completion percentage in divisional losses to the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, Brissett has averaged just 4.7 yards per pass attempt, completed zero passes over 20 yards, and holds a 27.5 percent first-down rate.

Matthews notes that Brissett faces another difficult divisional test in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, who rank second in passing defense. The writer also points out that offensive targets Trey McBride and Michael Wilson must produce bigger plays to assist Brissett, as McBride averages only 7.3 yards per catch despite hauling in 42 receptions.
