The Arizona Cardinals have a few milestones that can be reached in their Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens, both as a team and by individual players.
What are some of these milestones?
The Cardinals
A win in Baltimore would be the team’s first win in Baltimore since 1997. It would be the first time in the all-time series that the Cardinals will have won two games in a row. They beat the Ravens 26-18 in 2015, the last time the two teams met.
David Johnson
If David Johnson scores any sort of touchdown against the Ravens, it will be the 45th of his career, which would tie him for eighth place in franchise history with Anquan Boldin.
With two touchdowns of any kind, he would tie Mel Gray for seventh place
If he has a rushing touchdown, it would tie him with Stump Mitchell for fourth place in team history for career rushing touchdowns with 32.
Chandler Jones and Terrell Suggs
If Chandler Jones sacks Lamar Jackson, it would the 39th different quarterback he has taken down. If Suggs gets Jackson, it would be his 74th different quarterback sacked. Suggs would have his first sack against the Ravens, leaving the Philadelphia Eagles as the only team against whom he has had at least one sack.
Kyler Murray
If Murray has multiple touchdown passes, he would be the first rookie QB in team history to have multiple TD passes in his first two games.
If he throws for at least 300 passing yards, he would join Cam Newton as the only players in NFL history to have 300 passing yards or more in each of their first two games.
Larry Fitzgerald
If he can get 100 receiving yards, it will be the first time in his entire career that he does so in the first two games of a season.
If he has a receiving touchdown, it will be in the 28th different stadium of his career and the 30th team against whom he has scored a regular season touchdown.
The only team he hasn’t gotten a TD catch against in the regular season is the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he had one in the Super Bowl against them.
Fitzgerald, of course, has never faced the Cardinals as an opponent.
