Todd Gurley received the game ball in his first NFL game, rushing 19 times for 146 yards in the St. Louis Rams' win at the Arizona Cardinals.

Gurley's performance came just 10 months after reconstructive knee surgery and he had nine carries for 106 yards in the final 12 minutes of the game.

“This is just the beginning,” Jeff Fisher said.

“The way I’ve been coached here,” Gurley said over the phone after the game, “I know in a four-minute situation at the end of the half or the end of the game, if you have the lead, you don’t go out of bounds, and you don’t stop the clock. On that play, I didn’t care about the touchdown. I just cared about the win.”
