GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado had a 72-yard touchdown wiped away against the Tennessee Titans after he tossed the ball before crossing the goal line.
It was the second straight week an NFL player turned a long TD into a touchback by losing the ball just outside the end zone.
With the Cardinals leading 21-6 in the fourth quarter on Sunday, Demercardo burst through the middle and raced toward the end zone. Demercado, appearing to think he was alone, slowed up inside the 5-yard line with Tennessee cornerback L’Jarius Sneed closing fast.
Demercado flipped the ball as Sneed reached for it and was initially awarded a touchdown. A review showed Demercado let go of the ball before crossing the goal line, and the Titans were awarded a touchback.
Tennessee quickly marched down the field for Tony Pollard’s 1-yard touchdown run to get within 21-12.
A week earlier, Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell held the ball out as he neared the goal line and lost control of it for a touchback, negating what would have been a spectacular 76-yard touchdown reception against the Los Angeles Rams. Indianapolis lost 27-20.
