The first touchdown in Chase Edmonds’ NFL career is one he will never forget.
The rookie running back scored on a 6-yard run late in the first half against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, giving the Arizona Cardinals their first touchdown of the game.
That one counts!

The fourth-round pick from Fordham hasn’t played a huge role in the Cardinals’ offense this season behind David Johnson, but made his opportunity count.
It looked like Edmonds scored on the play before the touchdown — the run was ruled a score on the field — but was overturned on replay.
