Jacoby Brissett steps up for Cardinals to sink Cowboys and end losing streak

• Kyler Murray said to be not ready after foot problems

• Dallas fall to 3-5-1 as Arizona move to 3-5 with win

Jacoby Brissett had a stock answer ready for the question of whether the Arizona quarterback has done enough to be the replacement, not just the fill-in, for Kyler Murray. Coach Jonathan Gannon barely had an answer at all. The Cardinals will worry about what appears to be a full-blown controversy later. For now, they'll enjoy ending a five-game losing streak.

Brissett threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score in another game with Murray sidelined by a foot injury, and the Cardinals beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-17 on Monday night. Brissett made his third consecutive start after the week began with expectations of Murray returning coming off the team's open week.
