Arizona Cardinals fans, rejoice! Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. scored a second-half touchdown for the first time in his career on Sunday.

After largely being a nonfactor in every quarter but the first across the first seven games of his NFL career, Harrison was a key figurehead in the Cardinals’ 28-27 comeback win over the Miami Dolphins.

Looking to capitalize on a Miami safety the possession prior, quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense used eight plays to move the chains before the signal caller let it fly in the direction of Harrison.

“I don’t really see all speculation and stuff because I don’t really be on Twitter, but he hears it, I hear it,” Murray told reporters postgame. “It’s hard to not hear it. But at the end of the day, he’s got to be himself and just continue to get better each and every week. That’s what we have to do and it’s going to get there.

“(Expletive) don’t happen overnight. I’m super proud of him today. He kind of took over. … This game was really big for him, for me, for us to get on that page.”

With the 22-yard touchdown grab, Harrison is now up to five touchdowns on the season. That currently paces all Cardinals pass catchers.

Arizona couldn’t fully cap off the drive, however, with running back James Conner falling short of converting the two-point conversion to tie things up.

Entering play, the third quarter had not been kind to Harrison behind two catches for 24 yards.

That’s a far cry from his 11-catch, 106-yard first quarter split that includes four trips to the end zone.

Harrison followed up the touchdown snag with one heck of a third-down catch to pick up a crucial first down. He backed that up with another 20-yard snag to put Arizona deep in Miami territory.

He ended the game with 111 yards and the score on six catches (seven targets).

Harrison wasn’t the only Cardinal effecting the receiving game in Miami, though.

While he didn’t find the end zone, tight end Trey McBride was busy behind eight catches for 124 yards.

Murray must have gotten the memo that it was National Tight Ends Day!
