Overview

• Replay overturned Emari Demercado’s apparent long touchdown after he released the ball before the goal line, producing a touchback that preceded the Titans’ 22-21 comeback.
• Demercado told reporters he made a mistake with no excuse and said he intends to keep pushing forward after the loss.
• A circulating sideline video appears to show coach Jonathan Gannon confronting Demercado and striking his pads, and Gannon later called the outcome unacceptable.
• The context is a depleted backfield, with James Conner out for the season and Trey Benson on injured reserve, which had expanded Demercado’s role.
• Some outlets floated that Arizona could release Demercado, a claim that remains unconfirmed, as coverage also noted a recent similar goal-line error by Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell.
