Cardinals to start Gardner Minshew II, demote Jacoby Brissett to third string QB

The Arizona Cardinals are making a change at quarterback – just not the one that many had anticipated they might opt for near midseason. Gardner Minshew II will start Sunday's game at the Seattle Seahawks , Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur confirmed Monday, Oct. 2. In taking over for starter Jacoby Brissett in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, Minshew sparked a late surge by throwing for 188 yards and three touchdowns to lead a 33-30 comeback win .
