Kyler Murray gets the fumble after Marvin Harrison Jr shines with Jacoby Brissett

Marvin Harrison Jr. showed why he was the No. 4 overall pick in last year’s draft Monday night.

The second-year Arizona Cardinals wide receiver set a career high with seven receptions, one of which was a touchdown. His 96 receiving yards were the fourth-most in 25 career games.

The catch, however, is that this performance came with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett as Kyler Murray hasn’t played since October 5th.

The Cardinals earned a 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys with Harrison’s help, and social media wasn’t too kind to Murray all night.

Harrison was widely considered the best wide receiver in a stacked class that included Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze, but those two have since leapfrogged Harrison on many rankings.

It should be noted that Harrison struggled in his first two games with Brissett, catching just four passes for 90 yards. But it appears the Cardinals have unlocked something with star tight end Trey McBride.

McBride has four touchdowns in the three games Brissett has started, while he had just two in his previous 21 with Murray as the starter.

The Cardinals have said Murray will remain the starter if and when he returns this season. However, Brissett has been more than adequate.
