Cardinals rookie running back Andre Ellington continued to outperform Rashard Mendenhall in the Week 6 loss in San Francisco. Ellington ran seven times for 56 yards -- the third straight game in which he's averaged at least 7 yards per carry -- and caught all five of his targets for 36 yards.
Ellington's 15-yard touchdown run, his first career rushing score, marked the fifth time in six games he's busted a run of at least 14 yards. His 92 total yards were a season high. Ellington has a burst and quickness Mendhenhall lacks, but for now they are splitting snaps fairly evenly.
Ellington faces the Seahawks on Thursday.
