  • Hired as the Cardinals offensive coordinator in 2023 after coaching three seasons (2020-22) with Cleveland, including in 2022 as the Browns quarterbacks coach.
  • In his first season with Arizona in 2023, the Cardinals offense finished 4th in the NFL in rushing (2,365 yards) and 2nd in rushing average (5.02). It was just the second time since 1970 the Cardinals had a top-five rushing offense in the NFL (3rd in 1979).
  • Cardinals RB James Conner had his first-career 1,000-yard rushing season (1,040 yards) and QB Kyler Murray returned from a serious knee injury and started the final eight games where he helped Arizona's offense rank 9th in the league in those final eight games. TE Trey McBride led the team with 81 receptions for 825 yards. His 81 receptions set a single-season franchise record for a TE and his 825 yards are second in team history for a TE.
  • With the Browns in 2022, QB Jacoby Brissett started 11 games and completed 236-of-369 passes for 2,608 yards, 12 TDs, six interceptions and an 88.9 quarterback rating. Brissett's 63.9 completion percentage and 88.9 passer rating were both career highs. QB Deshaun Watson started the final six games of the season and threw for 1,102 yards, seven TDs and five interceptions. Both QBs combined to run for 418 yards and three TDs in 2022.
  • Prior to Cleveland, Petzing spent six seasons (2014-19) coaching with Minnesota. As the Vikings wide receivers coach in 2019, WR Stefon Diggs set a then career-high with 1,130 receiving yards and finished 4th in the league that season with a 17.9-yard average on 63 receptions.
  • Working with Kirk Cousins in 2018, the Vikings QB set a team record for completions (425), threw for the third-most passing yards (4,298), had the second-highest completion percentage (70.1%) and recorded the fourth-highest passer rating (99.7) by a Viking in team history.
