Liam Coen Highlights Underrated Performer for Cardinals

Jacoby Brissett deserves his flowers

The Arizona Cardinals have been a poor team in the 2025 NFL season, but it's not necessarily because of Jacoby Brissett or Kyler Murray's absence. In fact, they've averaged over 378 yards and 24 points per game since Brissett took over under center. When Murray was starting, those numbers were at just 288.4 yards and 20.6 points in their first five weeks of the year.

It hasn't led to wins, but the Cardinals' offense actually looks more capable with Brissett leading the way. In their last game, he set an NFL record for completions with 47. Clearly, this isn't a matchup the Jacksonville Jaguars should be taking lightly. Head Coach Liam Coen gave Brissett some rightful props ahead of their Week 12 clash in Arizona:

"I've always thought he could really throw it. Always. You watch the way he's played, I evaluated him kind of at length last year in Tampa. We were just doing quarterback stuff, free agent-wise, and watched him a lot. I thought he was impressive then. And man, the guy [went] 47-of-57 last week. You look at his last [games] since Week 6 — numbers are pretty impressive.

They're throwing at a good click right now and their skill players are playing at a high level. So, Jacoby, everything I've heard of him — I don't know him personally — is just 'pro’s pro.' Not really outcome-driven and just kind of goes through it, knows his talent, knows that he can throw the ball, really well at a high level... It fits for them right now, and they've been able to score points.”
