Mike LaFleur isn't ready to commit to a starting quarterback just yet, even if his backup just led them to a wild overtime win against the Dallas Cowboys.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur opted to bench Jacoby Brissett for Gardner Minshew on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium, a decision that eventually led to their 33-30 overtime win against the Cowboys.
While the expectation is that Minshew will remain the team's starter moving forward, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss, LaFleur declined to commit to that when asked directly on Sunday afternoon.
"I'm just excited about this win right now," he said, via ESPN.
Though LaFleur was vague, Minshew should get the start against the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday unless something changes in the next few days.
Jacoby Brissett started for the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium, but struggled to get much of anything going in the first half. Dallas jumped up 17-3, and Brissett went just 10-of-23 for 119 yards with an interception.
So with just a few minutes left in the third quarter, LaFleur benched Brissett in favor of Minshew. He ended up throwing for 188 yards and three touchdowns and leading the team to their overtime win....
