Adding to his case for becoming a 2023 Pro Bowl RB, Arizona Cardinals’ James Conner used his speed to score, but not utilizing it for rushing.

On 3rd and 8 at the CHI 16, Cards QB Kyler Murray threw a quick pass to Conner before charging his way into the end zone for his first receiving touchdown of the season with 2:27 left in the second quarter.
