Game-changing touchdowns may actually start being routine for the rookie. Brown also caught the game-winning score in Week 1 against the San Diego Chargers, Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers, and Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Cardinals took Brown in the third round of the 2014 draft, selecting him after 14 other receivers who were already off the board. Brown has 29 catches for 399 yards and five touchdowns this season, tying him for third among rookies for touchdown catches.
The regional cover is available to readers in Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and California.
