McBride’s first target ended up being a Quentin Lake interception, but Jacoby Brissett went right back to his star tight end on the following drive. McBride made a contested catch on a quick in route, spun off contact and took off downfield for a 26-yard gain. McBride’s day largely consisted of out routes and catches in the flats after that, but he was given two opportunities to score a touchdown from inside the Rams’ 25-yard line on the Cardinals’ seventh drive. On 2nd-and-1 from the Rams’ 21-yard line, McBride caught a pass in the flats and rumbled through contact for a short first-down gain. Three plays later, on 3rd-and-goal from the Rams’ seven-yard line, Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur dialed up a screen pass for him, but the Rams blew it up, resulting in a yardage loss. It wasn’t McBride biggest outing, but a 7/53 is hardly unusable. McBride remains an elite TE1 against the Broncos next week.
