Trace McSorley to start for Cardinals on Christmas night
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Trace McSorley will start Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Colt McCoy has already been ruled out with a concussion, so McSorley will make his first NFL start. The 2019 sixth-round pick completed 7 of 15 passes for 95 yards and 2 interceptions in relief of McCoy last week, and he has just 166 scoreless yards with 3 picks on 29 attempts for the entire season. It's a downgrade for the Cardinals' pass-catchers, but McSorley does offer some individual rushing potential, as he had 30 rushing touchdowns in three seasons as a starter at Penn State.
The Buccaneers have the No. 7 pass defense and No. 7 overall defense in numberFire's adjusted team ranks. They are allowing 17.1 FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
