Hold up, 12s, because our Seahawks are rolling into Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with a big change under center. Sam Darnold has been officially ruled out due to a quad injury, meaning it’s Drew Lock who will be taking the snaps and leading our squad this weekend. That’s a huge shift for an NFC West matchup!
Arizona’s QB Carousel: Brissett Out, Minshew In
This isn’t the only quarterback drama unfolding in the NFC West, though. Our Sunday opponents, the Arizona Cardinals, just shipped Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. Brissett was their starting QB, and get this, he just beat the Rams 18-16 only 17 days ago, sending L.A.’s season spiraling. But after a seriously tough outing against the Cowboys where he got benched for Gardner Minshew in the second half, the Cardinals are making a move. Minshew actually led them to an overtime win after Brissett was pulled, and now he’s the guy for the rest of the season. Carson Beck is stepping in as the backup. Can you believe this is Minshew’s sixth career NFL team? The Cardinals apparently gave Brissett a $21 million raise because he wanted starter money. Frankly, it sounds like another head scratching mistake from them, expecting a career backup to suddenly become a winner. They should have traded him before the season if he was demanding that kind of cash.
Ravens’ QB Room in Chaos
Over in Baltimore, the Ravens are in full on quarterback crisis mode. They lost both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley to injuries in just one half of football. Yikes. That’s why they’re finalizing this deal for Brissett. For now, undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano is set to start for them on Thursday, but Brissett could be in line to take over soon for the Ravens. It’s a wild time for QBs around the league, and our boys are right in the middle of it.
So, here we go, Seattle. Drew Lock gets the start against the Cardinals this Sunday. The NFC West is already shaking up fast, and this game against Arizona is going to tell us a lot about where we stand. Let’s get loud for Lock and our Seahawks.
