Cardinals' Demercado becomes 2nd player in as many weeks to lose ball at goal line for touchback
Demercado’s fumble erased a potential three-possession lead and sparked the Titans’ comeback in a 22-21 win, marking the second consecutive week of goal-line fumble errors in the NFL.
- On Oct. 5, 2025, Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado fumbled before crossing the goal line in Glendale, and officials ruled a touchback, nullifying a likely 72-yard touchdown.
- Appearing to think he was alone, Emari Demercado slowed inside the 5-yard line as Tennessee cornerback L'Jarius Sneed closed, flipping the ball as Sneed reached and prompting a reversal on review.
- In the fourth quarter, holding a 21-6 lead, the Arizona Cardinals saw Demercado's fumble erase a potential 27-6 lead, allowing Tennessee to cut the margin to nine.
- Demercado's miscue damages his bid for more snaps after James Conner and Trey Benson's injuries, while Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon reacted angrily as the team searches for answers at 2-3.
- It was the second straight week an NFL player turned a long touchdown into a touchback by losing the ball just outside the end zone, following Indianapolis Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell’s similar miscue last week.
