Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season began with the New Orleans Saints taking on the Arizona Cardinals in Thursday Night Football at the University of Phoenix Stadium on October 20. The game began with a 53-yard rushing touchdown by Rashid Shaheed in the first quarter but witnessed yet another amazing 64-yards run by wide receiver Kevin White in the second quarter.
