He\u2019s who you want on your team. You want to line up with a guy like that every day through the hard times,\u201d Brissett said after Arizona\u2019s loss to the Rams on Dec. 7. \u201cYou can count on somebody like that to get you to come to work tomorrow. He does everything right. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c(I) can\u2019t say enough good things about him. Every time the opportunity arises (or) the situation arises, he\u2019s right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another career mark for a Cardinals player<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Wilson reaching new heights on Sunday, the same can be said for Josh Sweat.<\/p>\n<p>With his sack of Matthew Stafford, the pass rusher set a new career mark for sacks in a season with 12.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Josh.
