Jacoby Brissett’s strong effort couldn’t save the Cardinals as Packers hand them another painful loss

Jacoby Brissett gave everything he had as the Arizona Cardinals battled the Green Bay Packers, but his determined performance couldn’t prevent yet another close defeat. Playing without several key starters and surrounded by a crowd dominated by cheeseheads, Brissett carried the offense with confidence and grit.

Still, despite his strong showing, Arizona’s 27-23 loss extended their slump to 2-5 heading into the bye week, leaving fans frustrated and searching for answers.

Jacoby Brissett shines but can’t overcome Arizona’s offensive line struggles

Brissett played with poise and precision, completing 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns. His leadership was evident, his accuracy sharp, and his resilience unwavering. Yet, even a composed performance like his couldn’t hide Arizona’s glaring protection problems.

The offensive line was overwhelmed, giving up six sacks — three of them to the relentless Micah Parsons. Every dropback seemed like a gamble, but Brissett stood tall and kept the Cardinals within reach until the very end.

Tight end Trey McBride turned in the best performance of his young career, hauling in two touchdowns and setting a new season high for receiving yards. His chemistry with Brissett gave Arizona hope, especially when they built a 20-13 lead heading into the final quarter.

For a brief moment, it felt like the Cardinals might finally snap their losing streak.

Fourth-quarter collapse seals another tough loss for the Cardinals

But familiar issues resurfaced when it mattered most. The defense couldn’t contain the Packers’ late push, allowing two unanswered touchdowns, including Josh Jacobs’ one-yard plunge with less than two minutes left. Still, Brissett refused to fold. He drove the offense down to Green Bay’s 27-yard line in a desperate final effort, but his fourth-down pass was tipped in the end zone — ending yet another heartbreaking finish.Now 2-5 entering the bye week, the Cardinals face tough questions about protection, consistency, and how to turn Brissett’s individual effort into team success. The veteran quarterback proved again he can compete under pressure. What Arizona needs next is a way to protect him — and to finally finish what they start.Also Read: Jayden Daniels exits early with hamstring injury — could this be a major setback for the Commanders’ season?
