Cardinals' Jonathan Gannon rips into running back following fumble blunder

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-20, and Kyler Murray struggled during the loss. Colin Cowherd asks if it’s time for the Cardinals to move on.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon was seen on the sideline tearing into running back Emari Demercado after a major blunder cost the team points late in their loss against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

The third-year running back thought he had broken free for a 76-yard touchdown run that would have given Arizona a 21-point lead late in the fourth quarter. It may have been insurmountable, and the touchdown could have thwarted any chance of a Titans comeback.

Instead, Demercado dropped the ball before he reached the goal line. The ball bounced out of the back of the end zone, resulting in a touchback and a turnover.

An animated Gannon was later spotted getting into Demercado’s face while offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. tried to console his teammate.

Gannon called the sloppiness on offense "unacceptable" after the game and was asked about what he told Demercado after the fumble.

"It’s never about one play. We have coaching points that I'm not going to tell you guys now," he said.

Arizona’s second blunder occurred when they were up nine points with 4:55 to go. It appeared the Cardinals got the game-sealing interception when Dadrion Taylor-Demerson hauled in a tipped Cam Ward pass while Tennessee was in the red zone. But Taylor-Demerson tumbled to the ground and lost the ball.
