Claim 6: “The Cardinals’ offensive line was already in rather dire straits, as they’re ranked the No. 22 unit in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus”

MISLEADING

Pro Football Focus does rank the Cardinals' run-blocking as 22nd in one source, but another source ranks their pass-blocking as 22nd and run-blocking as 31st. The claim simplifies the ranking to 'the No. 22 unit' overall, which is not explicitly supported as a total unit rank.

Claim 8: “Arizona is going with pocket passer Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback after moving on from the highly mobile Kyler Murray, who was recently named the starter in Minnesota”

DISPUTED

While sources confirm Jacoby Brissett as the starter for Arizona, the claim that Kyler Murray was 'named the starter in Minnesota' is contradicted by Wikipedia, which lists Murray as a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, but the context of him being 'moved on from' by Arizona is presented as a current event in some sources and a controversy in others.
