Overview
- Arizona’s Emari Demercado released the ball inches early on a breakaway, turning a would-be 72-yard touchdown into a touchback after review.
- Under NFL rules, a fumble that exits the end zone is a turnover, and Tennessee took possession at the 20-yard line.
- Statkeepers credited Demercado with a 71-yard run and a fumble on the play, with cornerback L’Jarius Sneed closing in on the chase.
- The Titans capitalized with a quick drive capped by Tony Pollard’s 1-yard score and later completed a 22-21 comeback victory.
- The mistake echoed Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell’s similar Week 4 miscue, as media noted possible repercussions for Demercado on a depth chart already missing James Conner and Trey Benson on IR.
