TE Zach Ertz

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (86) walks off the field after their 31-28 loss to the New York Giants at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Sept. 17, 2023.

Ertz needs only four receptions to reach 700 for his career. He would become just the 18th tight end to reach 700 catches and will have done it in the fourth-fewest games.

LB Dennis Gardeck

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Dennis Gardeck (45) celebrates his sack of New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (8) in the first half at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Sept. 17, 2023.

Gardeck’s next full sack will be his 12th career sack. That would tie the franchise record for the most by an undrafted rookie, tying Rondald McKinnon.

K Matt Prater

Sep 24, 2023; Glendale, Arizona, United States; Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (5) watches his field goal attempt against the Dallas Cowboys at State Farm Stadium.

Prater passed 1,700 career points last week.

With 10 points against the 49ers, he would reach 1,712 and move into 18th place on the NFL’s all-time scoring list, passing Nick Lowery.

With three made field goals, he would reach 384, passing Lowery for 16th all-time in NFL history.

RB James Conner

Sep 24, 2023; Glendale, Arizona, United States; Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (6) carries the ball against the Dallas Cowboys at State Farm Stadium.

With one rushing touchdown, Conner will have 25 in his Cardinals career, tying him for ninth place in franchise history with Pat Harder.
