As far as road debuts go, this one couldn't have started off better for Josh Rosen.
Making his second-ever NFL start, and his first away from home, the 21-year-old first-round draft pick threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie and Scottsdale native Christian Kirk on the Cardinals' very first offensive play of the game at the San Francisco 49ers. The speedy Kirk starred at Saguaro High School in Scottsdale.

The play helped the Cardinals earn their first victory of the season, a 28-18 victory of the 49ers, to improve to 1-4.
Rosen looked sharp in his debut last weekend vs. the Seattle Seahawks, completing 15 of 27 passes for 180 yards and a late fourth-quarter touchdown that tied the game.
