After years in the league, the Cardinals quarterback shares the mental fortitude that's helping him seize his latest starting opportunity and guide a young team through its learning curve.

The former Wolfpack quarterback followed his alma mater's footsteps and pulled a Monday Night Football upset out of nowhere.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that Brissett will start against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday while franchise quarterback Kyler Murray continues to recover from a foot injury. Gannon didn't rule Murray out for the Seahawks game, but said announcing a starter gives the team some clarity during preparation.

Jacoby Brissett passed for 261 yards and two touchdowns, breaking the Cardinals five-game losing streak and amplifying their quarterback controversy.
