Overview
- Two late Arizona errors flipped the game: Emari Demercado fumbled a would-be 72-yard touchdown out of the end zone for a touchback, and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson’s interception was fumbled and recovered in the end zone by Tyler Lockett for a Titans score.
- Rookie Cam Ward posted a career-high 265 passing yards and went 13-of-18 for 193 yards in the fourth quarter, with a 38-yard strike to Calvin Ridley helping set up the final kick, and Tony Pollard punched in a 1-yard touchdown to start the rally.
- Joey Slye drilled a 29-yard field goal as time expired to seal Tennessee’s 22-21 win, snapping a 10-game skid for the Titans and delivering their first victory since Nov. 24, 2024; Tyjae Spears made his season debut as JC Latham remained sidelined with a hip issue.
- Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon labeled the miscues "unacceptable," Demercado took responsibility for the goal-line fumble, and Kyler Murray called the defeat "How to lose a game 101" after Arizona squandered a 21-6 lead.
- The collapse reverberated in betting markets, with the loss wiping out thousands of Survivor pool entries, including 3,152 in Circa Survivor, 20 in Circa Grandissimo, and 24 in SuperBook Survivor, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
