- The Cardinals led 21-6 at the time, and the Titans answered the turnover with a drive capped by Tony Pollard’s 1-yard rushing touchdown to cut the deficit to 21-12.
- Tennessee cornerback L'Jarius Sneed closed rapidly as Demercado slowed near the goal line, prompting the premature release that turned a would-be touchdown into a turnover.
