Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Ward made his case for catch of the season on Sunday during the team’s win over the Dallas Cowboys.

With about 10:30 to go in the second quarter, the Cardinals lined up to punt on 4th-and-2 but ran a fake play. Chris Banjo took the snap and tossed the ball well behind Ward. However, Ward was able to somehow come down with the catch as he secured it on top of cornerback Nashon Wright’s helmet.
