During the two-time Pro Bowler’s absence, Arizona has turned the reins over to veteran Joshua Dobbs. After being acquired in a trade with the Browns, just prior to the start of the regular season, Dobbs has led the team to an eye-opening start to the season.

Arizona’s two losses have come by a combined total of seven points, mainly thanks to Dobbs, who has completed an impressive 72% of his passes through the first three games. The savvy quarterback was instrumental in the Cardinals’ shocking 28–16 upset win over the Cowboys last week.

Due to the solid play of Dobbs, the Cardinals are in no hurry to rush back the former 2019 No. 1 draft pick.
