The Arizona Cardinals showcased several remarkable offensive plays during the 2024 season, leaving fans with memorable moments. Among these highlights was Trey McBride's dynamic play against the Jets. Kyler Murray connected with McBride on a crucial third down, where McBride hurdled over safety Jalen Mills to secure an important gain. This set up a touchdown by Marvin Harrison Jr.

Harrison Jr. made his mark early in his career with standout performances, including a 60-yard touchdown against the Rams. After evading defenders and reaching the end zone, he celebrated with Big Red, earning him the nickname "the elastic man" from Spanish radio broadcaster Luis Hernandez.

In their home opener, Harrison caught another impressive touchdown pass from Murray, helping secure a decisive victory for the Cardinals. Another notable play involved Murray himself racing 50 yards for a touchdown against San Francisco while clocking an impressive speed of 21.27 mph.

Murray also demonstrated his agility and precision when he found Elijah Higgins in the end zone after eluding multiple defenders. Jonah Williams had his moment of glory by recovering a fumble in the end zone for a rare "big man" touchdown that drew significant media attention.

Harrison continued to impress with another toe-dragging catch in Minnesota, although it wasn't enough to prevent a narrow loss for the team. Michael Wilson contributed as well with spectacular receptions against both Seattle and Minnesota.

Emari Demercado delivered an unexpected highlight by running 53 yards for a touchdown against Chicago just before halftime—a feat reminiscent of Kenyan Drake's long run in 2020.

Overall, these plays highlighted key contributions from various players throughout an eventful season for the Cardinals' offense.
