The full read
Jacoby Brissett had a hard afternoon against the Cowboys and did not finish it: 10 of 23 for 119 yards, an interception and 4 sacks before Gardner Minshew took over with 1:35 left in the third quarter, Arizona down 17-3. Over 29 dropbacks he was worth -12.8 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position: -0.44 a dropback. His completion percentage over expected (CPOE), how often he completed passes against what their difficulty predicted, was -13.1.
The costliest throw came tied 0-0 with 3:18 left in the first quarter: third and 11 at his own 34, a short pass over the middle for Elijah Higgins was intercepted and returned 33 yards to the Arizona 5, -6.1 EPA and 12.9 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Dallas scored two snaps later. His last drive stalled on back-to-back sacks for 10 and 16 yards.
His best moment was a 2-yard run on fourth and 1 at the Dallas 44 to open the second quarter, +2.2 EPA. Through Week 7 he had been about even, -4.2 EPA on 302 dropbacks, -0.01 a dropback, with a CPOE of +0.7.
