Gardner Minshew is the Cardinals' starting quarterback after a 33-⁠30 comeback in Dallas

Arizona rallied from 17-⁠3 down to beat Dallas 33-⁠30

Sunday's game in Dallas settled the Cardinals' quarterback question. Arizona trailed 17-3 with Jacoby Brissett throwing, until Gardner Minshew came in late in the third quarter and went 17-for-23 with three touchdowns in a 33-30 win. ABC15 says it was a 14-point comeback that ended in overtime.

On Monday, coach Mike LaFleur said Minshew will move into the starter's role. Rookie Carson Beck is now the backup, and Brissett is the third-string emergency option. Arizona Sports adds that Brissett reportedly will be traded to Baltimore.

“We need a spark, and obviously Gardner gave us one.”

Wide receiver Michael Wilson says he and Minshew "probably banked 500, 600 reps" in offseason work, so the switch looked seamless.

  • Minshew's record as an NFL starter: 17-30
  • Minshew has played for six franchises
  • Brissett had started the previous 20 games

The Wrap

Century-old tamarisk trees shade the patio at Joe's Farm Grill, planted beside the water that once irrigated the farm. They're so valued that the restaurant put a quarter-million dollars into a steel patio cover to catch them if they ever fall. The Gilbert favorite turns 20 this November. Well-rooted indeed.
