Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals’ starting offense take just 1 drive to find the end zone vs. Raiders

A lot of eyeballs were locked on how the Arizona Cardinals’ starting offense would come out swinging against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Not only does Thursday night represent the first time head coach Mike LaFleur is rolling out the first-team unit, it’s also the first instance Jacoby Brissett gets the keys to the offense in a game setting after playing catch up this training camp.

Through one drive, there was a lot of good to build off of, especially coming from wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

Driving 73 yards on 10 plays, Arizona answered Las Vegas’ opening scoring drive with one of its own.

Brissett led the charge, going 5-for-5 for 44 yards and touchdown strike.

Most of those yards came from his connection with Michael Wilson, who reeled in a pair of catches for 23 yards.

Kendrick Bourne also flashed his potential out of the slot with a 12-yard catch to move the chains.

Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier showed off the potential one-two punch they’re forming, too.

But it was Brissett’s seven-yard touchdown throw to Harrison that ended the drive on a high note.

Marvin Harrison Jr. for 6!

Harrison has been able to separate better than anyone this camp. He just needs to catch the rock consistently.

Check and check.

It wasn’t all perfect

If there’s one area LaFleur is going to want cleaned up, it’s the pair of false start penalties Arizona was dinged for.

Offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo was flagged first before tight end Teagan Quitoriano picked up another.
