The full read

Jacoby Brissett gave Arizona a modest game against the Rams and the throw that won it: 24 of 35, 218 yards, no touchdowns, 1 interception, no sacks, and +2.0 expected points added (EPA) on 35 dropbacks, +0.06 per dropback. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.

The decisive snap came down 16-15 with 47 seconds left. First and 10 at the Arizona 35, he threw deep over the middle to Jalen Brooks for 21 yards to the Rams' 44, and an unnecessary-roughness penalty on Josh Wallace added 15 more: +2.9 EPA and +24.1 points of win probability. Arizona won 18-16.

His costliest throw was his first third down. At 0-0, third and 5 at the Arizona 25, Quentin Lake intercepted a pass meant for Trey McBride, -4.3 EPA and -9.4 points. Arizona scored 18 points without a touchdown. His completion percentage over expected (CPOE), how often he completed passes against what their difficulty predicted, was +0.3.

Through Week 5 he had -0.1 EPA on 214 dropbacks, 5 interceptions, 12 sacks and a +2.0 CPOE.
