Zach Ertz

Ertz caught his 700th career pass last week. He can move up the Cardinals’ all-time list in receiving yards. With 18 receiving yards, he will move into fifth place all-time for receiving yards by a tight end.

James Conner

If Conner rushes for a touchdown, he would tie Pat Harder (1946-1950) for ninth place in franchise history for rushing touchdowns with 25.

After his two-touchdown performance last week, if he has two touchdown receptions, he will join Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin in franchise history to have two games with two touchdown receptions as a rookie.

With a touchdown catch against the Bengals, he would join John Brown as the only Cardinals rookies in the last 70 years to have three touchdown receptions in their first five games.

Dennis Gardeck

With his next even partial sack, he will set the franchise record for sacks by an undrafted player. He tied Ronald McKinnon with his 12th career sack last week.

With two sacks, he would join Marku Golden (2016) and Curtis Greer (1983) as the only players in team history to have at least six sacks in the first five games of a season.

Matt Prater

With six points, Prater will pass Nick Lowery for 18th place in NFL history in career scoring with 1,712 points.

With two made field goals, he would pass Lowery for 16th place in NFL history with 384 career field goals.
