Cardinals receiver Michael Floyd torched Joe Haden on a 60-yard touchdown reception
The Arizona Cardinals fell flat after scoring first against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8, allowing the Browns to jump out to a 20-7 lead in the first half. The Cardinals kicked a field goal just before halftime, but it was Michael Floyd who really got the Cardinals rolling once again at the start of the third quarter.
Even with vaunted cornerback Joe Haden covering Floyd, the Cardinals wide receiver took off on a deep route and absolutely burned Haden in the process. Carson Palmer delivered a nicely thrown ball and it was nothing but green grass standing between Floyd and the endzone after he hauled in the catch:

I’m not quite sure what’s gotten into Floyd over the past few weeks, but that 60-yard touchdown catch gives him a touchdown reception in each of his last three games. He looks to be coming to life once again for this Cardinals offense.
With how the offense has been playing even before this resurfacing of Floyd, adding that element to their offense only makes Arizona even more dangerous. Having a guy who can burn coverage on deep routes like that on a team that has no qualms about airing it out is just another problem the Cards can cause opponents.
