Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Trey Benson saw more action in Week 9 against the Chicago Bears and scored his first NFL touchdown.
Already with an 18-yard reception in the first quarter and then a 17-yard run to start the Cardinals’ fifth drive of the game, Benson scored on a one-yeard run to give Arizona a 14-6 lead.
Here is the play.

At that point in the game, Benson had three rushes for 20 yards and a catch for 18.
The third-round pick had only seen 62 offensive snaps in the Cardinals’ first eight games of the season and had 31 rushing attempts for 117 yards, as well as two catches for 12 yards.
It would appear that his role will continue to grow as the season progresses.
