Pack Pros: QB Jacoby Brissett sets new NFL single-game record for completions

Former NC State quarterback Jacoby Brissett set a new NFL record for single-game completions with a 47-of-57 showing for 452 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. 

But after the game, he didn’t seem to really care about etching his name in the history books.

“Man, I’ll throw for three yards and win right now,” Brissett told reporters postgame. “I genuinely feel that way.”

Brissett broke Drew Bledsoe’s 1994 record of 45 completions, but he noted that if the record were to be broken tomorrow, as long as a win followed, he’d be happy. The Pack Pro signal-caller only has led the Cardinals to a 1-4 record in his time as a starter in place of the injured Kyler Murray. 

While Brissett was able to add his name to the league’s storied history, he wasn’t the only Pack Pro in action this past weekend. Here’s a look at how each former NC State player fared in their respective NFL games in Week 10.
