Arizona Cardinalsâ best wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. suffered a big-time blow that left him out of the game with a concussion. The Indianapolis Colts will have to deal with other Cardinalsâ weapons but what are those?
Michael Wilson and Zay Jones are the ones called to serve as the next best weapons. Then, Greg Dortch and Simi Fehoko complete the Cardinalsâ depth chart at wide receiver.
Harrison is the best receiver on the team but Michael Wilson has showed lots of talent too. Dortch is capable of making explosive plays but he is not a volume guy. However, between them they could be able to provide depth for the team.
Do the Cardinals look better with Brissett?
Harrison was out of the game due to a concussion but the Cardinals also had to deal with Kyler Murray not being able to play and going with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
Jacoby Brissett #7 of the Arizona Cardinals
Bear in mind, it was a 4-1 Colts team, not easy. Brissett was able to move the chains easily even after Harrison was injured. Murrayâs offense never looked this fluid so Brissettâs recklessness was exactly what the team needed.

The Cardinals vs Colts coaching duel had a back story
Cardinalsâ head coach Jonathan Gannon goes way back with Coltsâ head coach Shane Steichen. Both were coordinators on the Philadelphia Eaglesâ team that reached the Super Bowl two years ago. After that, Gannon, who served as DC went to Arizona and Steichen, OC, went to the Colts.
Itâs no surprise the game was very close, they know each other very well, have shared plenty of experiences and practices with one another. Hence, they know strengths and weaknesses better than anyone. It was a chess game of the highest of levels.
