McCord’s Comeback Sparks Roster Hope | Arizona Cardinals News

Kyle McCord delivered a clutch, comeback performance in the Packers’ preseason finale, rallying from an 11-point deficit with four touchdowns—including two in the final 3.5 minutes—to secure a 42-38 win over the Cardinals. After spending last season on the Eagles’ practice squad, McCord completed 22 of 35 passes for 226 yards and is now firmly in the running for a roster spot as cuts loom. With starters sitting out, McCord seized his moment—aided by Jordan Love calling plays in the second half—and showcased why he deserves to stay. The game also featured dramatic family rivalries: the LaFleur brothers coaching against each other and the Melton brothers battling on the field. Rookie kicker Trey Smack added to the Packers’ momentum with another perfect preseason, nailing two field goals. As the preseason ends, players like McCord face tense waiting—this was their last chance to impress before final rosters are set.
