Cardinals' David Johnson: Starts season with a bang

Johnson had 16 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown, adding four catches for 43 yards on six targets, in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriot

Analysis:

Contained for much of the night, Johnson eventually came up with one of the top highlights of Week 1, turning a busted play into a 45-yard gain to set up a go-ahead touchdown. Just as important, he dominated the snaps and touches, with Chris Johnson getting only one carry and Andre Ellington getting two targets (and no carries). Any concerns about Johnson's workload can safely be put to rest as he prepares for a Week 2 matchup with the Buccaneers.
