Kyler Murray and Julie Ertz aided successful Cardinals debut for Zach Ertz

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It took tight end Zach Ertz all of two plays to make his presence felt on the Arizona Cardinals' offense Sunday.

He caught an 11-yard pass from quarterback Kyler Murray on the game's second play, earning him a standing ovation from the home crowd inside State Farm Stadium just nine days after joining the Cardinals via trade from the Philadelphia Eagles.

Ertz's Cardinals debut, a 31-5 win over the Houston Texans, couldn't have gone much better. He caught three of his five targets for 66 yards, which tied for the team-high.
