Pack Pro quarterback Jacoby Brissett and running back Bam Knight have been a dynamic duo this fall. While both of them didn’t begin the season as the Arizona Cardinals’ starting backfield, they’ve emerged as such to give the team the best chance of competing. 

And they combined for another quality performance this past weekend, despite a 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

Brissett was 29-of-40 passing for 301 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, while Knight logged 11 carries for 62 yards with another three receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown pass from the former Wolfpack quarterback.

Knight, the journeyman running back, has now scored in each of the last three games to bring his season mark to five total touchdowns as he has emerged as a critical piece of the Cardinals’ offense. 

While Brissett and Knight were able to team up to nearly pull off the upset win, they weren’t the only Pack Pros in action this weekend. Here’s a look at how the other former NC State players fared in their respective Week 13 games.
