Top 8 Bold Predictions for the Arizona Cardinals 2022 season
Arizona Cardinals bold prediction number two:
Pick Analysis. 32. Rush TDs in a season record list. . . James Conner breaks franchise record for rushing TDs. 2. player
James Conner made me eat crow last year, and I’m happy he did, as it gave life to an Arizona Cardinals rushing game that had been dead for quite some time. David Johnson holds the record with 16 scores in 2016, and Conner fell just one short of tying him in 2021.
But with an improved interior offensive line headlined by Will Hernandez, the Cardinals should be a force at the goal to give Conner a big chance to score at a higher clip than what he did last year. Of course, if Conner doesn’t miss the regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks, he breaks that record.
Conner’s ability to be that classic “thumper” back is what makes him so valuable in an Air Raid offense. Especially now that the Cardinals’ tight end room is the best, it’s ever been (on paper). As a result, defenses will have a hard time figuring out who to guard, and Conner will get 19 rushing touchdowns on the season.
