Johnson engineered the Cardinals’ first drive of the game, scoring on a one-yard touchdown run.

It was Johnson’s seventh touchdown run of the season and the capped a drive in which he had 55 receiving yards.

Johnson became the first Cardinal to score on his birthday since receiver Christian Kirk did so in Week 11 against the Oakland Raiders.
