❚ Kenyan Drake started from the bottom, leads slump-busting win.

The last time a Cardinals player scored four touchdowns in a game, it was December of 1993. Running back Ronald Moore punched in three 1-yard touchdown runs and one 17-yard run as the Cardinals pummeled the Rams, 38-10 at Sun Devil Stadium.

Seven and a half weeks later and 1,500 miles away, Kenyan Drake was born.

On Sunday, Drake tied that fourtouchdown mark, as the Cardinals rolled to a 38-24 win over the Browns. It had been eight weeks since the Cardinals’ last win, and 53 weeks since Drake’s.

Drake, whom the Cardinals acquired in a trade from Miami in late October, finished with 137 yards on 22 carries, both season highs. He had a 9yard reception as well. Three of his four touchdown runs were shorter, as the Cardinals put up a season-high 38 points.

“We talked all week long about playing a real dominant style of football,” Drake said. “There were a couple of gift-wrapped ones, where we were on the 1-yard line, and all I had to do was fall forward. The O-line did a good job of just pushing the pile forward, and I was able to fall in with a couple other plays where I didn’t get touched going into the end zone.”

His fourth touchdown was a 17-yard run, his longest touchdown of the day. He put an exclamation point on that one with a bunny hop into the end zone, but his celebrations circled more around the offensive line.

“These guys, they work their butt off to do their job,” he said. “The least I could do is reward them for the job that they do.”
