Minshew named Cardinals starter after leading OT comeback win over Dallas.

Named starting quarterback for the Cardinals after coming off the bench in the third quarter against Dallas and leading a comeback overtime win. In his first 2026 appearance, Minshew completed 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns. Head coach Mike LaFleur praised his competitiveness, preparation, and ability to move the offense up and down the field, saying 'The production was pretty wild in terms of the amount of points and just moving up and down the field.' The Cardinals face the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks next week with Minshew as the new starter.
