Drew Petzing returns to Arizona as Lions offensive coordinator in Week 5

Summary

Drew Petzing returns to Arizona as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator for their matchup against the Cardinals on October 8, 2026. Petzing served as the Cardinals' offensive coordinator for three seasons, where he struggled to elevate quarterback Kyler Murray due to injuries. Meanwhile, the Lions currently boast the NFL's sixth-ranked offense, with Jared Goff performing strongly this season. Arizona's defense will face challenges against Detroit's potent offensive weapons, including tight end Sam LaPorta and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Cardinals aim to regain offensive consistency following a disappointing performance in their recent loss to the New York Giants.
