Titans Rally to Edge Cardinals 22-21 in Fourth Consecutive Walk-Off Field Goal Loss

The Arizona Cardinals squandered a significant 18-point halftime lead, ultimately losing 22-21 to the Tennessee Titans due to costly second-half mistakes, including a critical goal-line fumble by Cardinals running back Emari Demercado. Demercado's apparent 72-yard touchdown run was overturned after he dropped the ball before crossing the goal line, resulting in a touchback that shifted momentum to the Titans. Tennessee quarterback Cam Ward led a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback, highlighted by an interception turned fumble recovery touchdown by Titans receiver Tyler Lockett and a game-winning walk-off field goal by kicker Joey Slye. The Cardinals' offense stalled in the second half, with only two drives gaining more than ten yards, while the Titans capitalized on the turnovers and errors. This loss marked the third consecutive week the Cardinals have lost on a last-second field goal, raising concerns about the team's identity, offensive line, and front office decisions. Despite strong early performances, including a standout game from wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the Cardinals' inability to maintain their lead resulted in fan frustration and a disappointing record of 2-3.
