9. Andre Ellington scampers for a 63-yard touchdown run against the Detroit Lions

It was a game that looked was going nowhere fast.  The Cardinals were coming off a loss to the St. Louis Rams at home and failed to score in the first quarter against an 0-4 Detroit Lions team.  The Cardinals offense and defense got going though and were up 28-7 by halftime.

It was the only positive run of the day but the fourth quarter run by Ellington was his longest of the season and put the Cardinals up 42-10 at the time.  Of course the run was also a by-product of good offensive line blocking but Ellington’s run was only his second-most impressive of the season.
