Jacoby Brissett is out here talking about “no panic” in Arizona, but after watching your Seattle Seahawks put a loss on their record as part of a three-game skid, it’s getting mighty tough to believe him. The Cardinals quarterback spoke on Wednesday, trying to keep a lid on things, but the results on the field tell a different story for a team that started the year with some promise.
Three Straight Losses, One to Your Hawks, and a Whole Lotta “Urgency”
Remember when the Cardinals actually looked decent? They kicked off the 2026 season with a win over the Chargers. Felt like a lifetime ago, right? Because since then, it’s been a rough ride. They’ve dropped three straight games, taking L’s from your Seahawks, then the 49ers, and most recently, the Giants. That’s a brutal stretch for anyone trying to find their footing early in the season. Brissett acknowledges it, at least in part. He said, “I think the sense of urgency needs to be there no matter what the record is. Each week is a 1-0 league. I think the way the last three weeks have ended has definitely created another sense of urgency.” So, urgency? Absolutely. We’ve all seen what happens when you let the early season slide get out of hand.
Brissett’s “No Panic” Vibe Is… Something Else
Here’s where it gets interesting, or maybe just a little concerning if you’re a Cardinals fan. Despite that three-game losing streak, Brissett insists there’s “obviously not a sense of panic.” Not a sense of panic? Man, if going from 1-0 to 1-3 doesn’t stir a little something in the locker room, then what will? He went on, saying, “You can’t panic. The urgency can be there and it’s like how can we steady the ship without everybody trying to jump off the ship or pick up the ship and run? It’s just more so just doing the right things right every day and Sunday will take care of itself.” It sounds like a coach’s cliché, doesn’t it? Steady the ship, don’t jump off. But after watching them fall to your Hawks, it makes you wonder how long they can preach “no panic” before the results start screaming otherwise.
The Cardinals are heading back home this Sunday to face the Lions. You know your Hawks are keeping an eye on that NFC West landscape, and while Brissett says there’s no panic, another loss would sure make that “steady the ship” talk feel a lot heavier.
