Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. made history as the first rookie since his father in 1996 to record four or more catches and two or more touchdowns in the first quarter. He surpassed his father’s rookie record by accumulating 130 receiving yards in the first quarter alone, including a 23-yard touchdown and a 60-yard touchdown.
Harrison Jr.’s standout performance led the Cardinals to a 41-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. This impressive game followed a disappointing NFL debut where he caught just one pass for four yards against the Buffalo Bills. Despite the initial doubts, Harrison’s Week 2 display proved his talent and potential.
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon praised Harrison’s progress, noting that the more he plays and practices, the better he will become. Harrison, remaining focused and humble, acknowledged the importance of maintaining consistency and confidence, regardless of the outcome of each game. The rookie is set to continue his growth as the Cardinals face the Detroit Lions next Sunday.
