Imagine if Chris Johnson had gone ahead and called it quits.
“Oh, man,” Johnson said, rolling his eyes with a smile. “I don’t know. It would be a situation where, heck, it probably would be a crisis right about now.”
Yeah, for him and for the Cardinals.
Here he is, second in the NFL with 567 rushing yards after gaining 122 during Monday night’s 26-18 great escape over the visiting Baltimore Ravens, and if the Cardinals didn’t have Johnson, they probably don’t win this game. They’re probably not 5-2 and sitting pretty atop the NFC West.
