Cardinals' QB Jacoby Brissett shatters NFL completions record in loss to 49ers image

Just keep throwing, just keep throwing, just keep throwing, throwing, throwing.

Jacoby Brissett could've taken his inspiration from Finding Nemo's Dory on Sunday. The Arizona Cardinals' QB threw the ball a ton.

By the end of the game, he had completed more passes in a single game than any player in NFL history.

Brissett's final stats:

  • 47-for-57
  • 452 yards
  • 2 touchdowns
  • 2 interceptions

The previous single-game record for completions in a regular season game was 45.

Drew Bledsoe did that all the way back in 1994. And in 2019, Jared Goff did it.

It's amazing that of all people, now Brissett holds this mark.

Ben Roethlisberger had a 47-completion game in the postseason once.

But as far as the regular season goes, this has never happened before.

Brissett is standing in for Kyler Murray, who has been out for a while now with a mid-foot sprain. And it's not clear whether Brissett has a long-term future in Arizona or whether he's just a fill-in.

But a game like this won't soon be forgotten. Brissett kept loading up and firing, over and over again.

In the end, he had made history.
