2. 108 yard kick-off return touchdown vs. Chicago Bears

While Johnson’s clutch touchdown catch and run against the Saints was impressive, what he did in his second NFL game was just as impressive, if not more. The Cardinals traveled to Chicago to take on the Bears in their first match up since the 2012 season. Arizona won the toss, and as always elected to receive. David Johnson went back to receive the opening kick-off  and began what would be a tough day at the office for the Bears.

Johnson fielded the kick deep inside the Cardinals’ end zone and chose to bring it out. After dodging and weaving through a sea of players, Johnson broke free and left Bears’ kicker Robbie Gould in the dust on his way to the end zone. With his return, David Johnson set a franchise record for longest kick-off return and was also named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. To cap off an already stellar day, Johnson also ran for his first career touchdown later in the third quarter.
