The first 11 carries of Todd Gurley’s NFL career produced a total of seven yards. But it’s the next 14 that have football fans buzzing.
Making his first start in a 24-22 win over the host Arizona Cardinals Sunday, Gurley shook off a slow start — four carries for two yards in the first half — to finish the day with 146 yards on 19 carries. Of those, 106 yards came on nine fourth-quarter runs.
After a third-quarter stretch of four consecutive carries that included runs of 23 and 12 yards, Gurley ripped off a 52-yarder on his second rush of the final period.
