On the game’s opening drive Sunday against the Chargers, rookie running back Jeremiyah Love scored his first professional touchdown. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft wasted no time making his mark in the desert.

The score sparked an immediate reaction both at SoFi Stadium and across social media.
Love was a game-time decision due to an ankle injury suffered in the preseason, making his fast start all the more impressive.
The Notre Dame standout arrived in Arizona with high expectations following a decorated college career that included a Doak Walker Award and a National Championship appearance.
After signing a landmark four-year, $53 million contract this off-season, Love’s early pay-off signals a massive impact ahead for the Cardinals’ offense.
