    David Johnson catches game-clinching t.d. pass vs Saints

    Great start for David Johnson today for the Cardinals. In addition to this big catch he also had a 43-yard kickoff return. Look at him turn on the jets here with this late fourth quarter t.d. that clinched Arizona's 31-19 victory against the Saints:

    He may get a lot more playing time as well because Arizona's starting running back went down with an ACL injury.

    It's only a matter of time before he surpasses Chris Johnson and becomes the feature back. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

      Wow, he just few right by the Saint defenders like there were running three-quarter speed.

      Anyone know if he was in to pass block? If so, how he did?

      Did Xavier get in?
      "Well, that escalated quickly."

        Xavier was inactive today.

          It was funny reading the knocks on him pre-draft because most of them were about not having "break away speed". It's like they never watched a single UNI game - or the combine where he ran a 4.5 and was one of the fastest backs there.

          Xavier will likely be inactive pretty much every week. They won't risk putting him on the practice squad because he'll be plucked from that REAL quick by about a dozen teams. They won't risk losing him and his future productivity

            Real happy to see that play. Don't know if he got the ball back for his first NFL TD. Looked like he tossed it after the score and I didn't see him on the sidelines with it. I think Arians is going to slowly get him more involved in the game because he missed a lot of the pre-season with that hammy injury.

                Unfortunately I don't think he got any other offensive touches. This should change some minds but Chris Johnson wasn't terrible. There is no way DJ doesn't get touches after this but those of you ready to make him your fantasy starter should probably cool the jets. I hope he gets the opportunity to go ahead of CJ while Ellington is out but I was a little surprised that it took that long to get him the ball in his hands.

                    "inactive" just means not on the game roster, correct? I assume he is still involved in the practices and everything

                      still in college mode, used to not being able to celebrate with the ball. (though I don't think he's the type of guy to really showboat anyhow)

                        Ellington is the feature back. Chris Johnson was signed as the backup during camp because David missed a lot of camp with a tender hammy.

                        In the long run it isn't all bad for DJ to avoid the NFL hits early in his career.

                          Ellington blew his ACL yesterday.

                            David's opportunities aside, I feel incredibly bad for Ellington. What a rotten break once again.
                            "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                              It sounds like Ellington's injury isn't as serious as what we first thought. It's a PCL strain and he may be able to play next week.
