The Arizona Cardinals set a new franchise record during a 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, but not the good kind.
Tight end Josiah Deguara was called for a holding penalty that took away the impact of a 22-yard punt return by Greg Dortch with 11:59 left in the game. The flag gave Arizona its 17th of the day, a new franchise record.
But it was the most important Cardinals coming up with violations, too, such as when Trey McBride was called for taunting after a first-down pickup.
Trey McBride was flagged for taunting for a seemingly harmless celebration.
