In a blowout loss to the Detroit Lions on October 8, 2026, Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love saw limited action. He finished the game with just 22 yards on 12 carries and was targeted once without making a catch. Despite being the No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft, Love averaged only 1.8 yards per carry. The team's offensive struggles led to a shift toward passing in the second half. With an overall average of 56 combined yards and one touchdown across five games, Love's performance raises questions about his role moving forward.
