Overview
- Arizona blew a 21-6 fourth-quarter lead when Emari Demercado dropped the ball before the goal line, resulting in a touchback instead of a 72-yard score.
- Tennessee followed with two touchdowns and Joey Slye’s 29-yard field goal as time expired for a 22-21 win and its first victory of the season.
- A premature snap off Kyler Murray’s helmet and a chaotic interception-then-fumble that became a Titans touchdown compounded the collapse, alongside conservative late play-calling.
- Video showed Gannon yelling at Demercado and making contact on the sideline; on Monday he apologized to the player and the team, calling his reaction a mistake.
- Demercado took responsibility for the error, Arizona says he will not be punished, and scrutiny of coaching decisions grows as the 2-3 Cardinals prepare to visit the 4-1 Colts after three straight last-second losses.
