1. David Johnson 58-yard touchdown run
The Cardinals have had difficulty scoring in the first quarter all season. That has been well chronicled. Cardinals running back David Johnson changed all of that in a hurry on Monday Night Football on October 17th against the New York Jets.
Johnson made a couple of nice cuts, got some very good blocking and made a couple of Jets defensive players miss tackles en route to not only is still the only first quarter scoring the Cardinals have done this season but also the longest run from scrimmage this season as well.
Once Johnson was gone and in the end zone to make it 7-0 early, it was all over by then. It was more than enough to beat the Jets 28-3.
