Andre Ellington Goes Beast Mode For Touchdown
By Mario Hicks
Andre Ellington produced one of the brightest sparks of play in today’s game.
Unfortunately, the Arizona Cardinals fell to the Denver Broncos 40-21, but not without giving it all they had.
In the toughest matchup of the season for the Arizona Cardinals, they would take on the Peyton Manning lead Denver Broncos in the Mile High City of Denver. With the Cards undefeated (3-0) they would go against a Denver team that were 2-1 going into Sunday. The Cardinals’ defense has been absolutely stellar this season but how would they fare against the top-notch offense of the Denver Broncos?
Well, not too well unfortunately. Injuries to quarterback, Drew Stanton, and defensive linemen, Calais Campbell, really hurt the Cardinals as they tried to keep up with the fast attack of the Manning-lead Bronco offense. Cardinals quarterback, Logan Thomas, would have to take over for Drew Stanton but would not jump-start the Cardinal offense. It also would not help with Cardinals’ receivers having a total of 8 dropped passes.
Drew Stanton went out of the game with a potential concussion. Then the third string quarterback Logan Thomas came on to the field.
On a remarkable catch, Logan Thomas would connect with Andre Ellington in between defenders. Andre Ellington would break free and run for a 81-yard touchdown giving the Cardinals more points on the board with the score now being, 20-24 still Broncos heading into the 4th quarter.

The Cardinals are now 3-1 in the NFC West.
