Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon shot down questions of a permanent quarterback change on Monday night, moments after Jacoby Brissett led the team to a 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Gannon was quick with an answer when asked if he would keep Brissett as the team’s starter in place of Kyler Murray when the latter returns to health.
“Nothing’s changed on that,” Gannon said. “That’s how I feel.”
Reporters began to ask follow-up questions before Gannon pulled the plug on the topic.
“I’ve got nothing to add on that, guys,” Gannon said. “Like I said, nothing’s changed.”
Brissett completed 21 of 31 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns to help the Cardinals (3-5) snap a five-game losing skid on Monday.
Arizona visits the NFC West co-leading Seattle Seahawks (6-2) on Sunday.
Brissett, 32, has thrown for 860 yards with six touchdowns with one interception in three games in place of Murray, who has missed the past three games since injuring the foot during a Week 5 home loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Murray, 28, has completed 68.3% of his passes for 962 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions in five starts this season. The two-time Pro Bowl selection has rushed for a team-high 173 yards and one score.
