MIAMI (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Miami Dolphins are going to have their hands full with one of the NFL’s best up-and-coming offensive playmakers.
Arizona Cardinals second-year running back David Johnson has shredded the NFL in the first 12 games of the season and will look to exploit a struggling Dolphins’ rush defense on Sunday when the teams meet in South Florida.
Johnson leads the league in touchdowns (15) and scrimmage yards (1,709) with an NFL third-best 1,005 coming on the ground heading into a tilt with the 30th-ranked rush defense (130.3 yards per game).
Should Johnson find the end zone on Sunday, he’ll join Hall of Famer Gale Sayers as the only players in league history with 20 or more rushing touchdowns, five or more receiving scores and a kickoff return touchdown in their first two seasons.
