ARIZONA CARDINALS

Johnson, Floyd make great plays in Cardinals’ win

Dec 21, 2015, 11:22 AM

You can point to many plays in Arizona’s 40-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night as to why they won the game.

But two plays stood out among them all, at least in terms of their highlight-reel awesomeness.

The first was David Johnson’s 47-yard touchdown run, which saw him break multiple tackles on the way to the end zone.

This run was so impressive, it was named the No. 1 run of the week by the NFL Network.

But it was not the only play to earn recognition, as Michael Floyd’s 27-yard catch in the third quarter of the game earned the top spot for receptions in Week 15.

The Cardinals’ comfortable win over the Eagles was their 12th of the season, which set a franchise record for victories, and also clinched the NFC West title.
