The Arizona Cardinals started slowly offensively, but the internal buzz about running back Chase Edmonds appears to be right on points. It was Edmonds who scored the first touchdown of the year for the Cardinals.
He did it with some flare.
After Ezekiel Turner blocked a punt, giving the Cardinals the ball at the 49ers’ 10-yard line, on the first play of the drive, Edmonds took a short pass from Kyler Murray, ran it and dove for the end zone. He just barely got the football to the pylon for the 10-yards score.
Air Edmonds.

Edmonds is the Cardinals’ backup running back but is expected to have a prominent role in the offense. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury has said he sees Edmonds as a starting running back in the NFL.
With the Cardinals’ first touchdown of the year, he should have many more opportunities to make plays.
