Get ready for an intense NFL showdown! The Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals faced off in a thrilling game on October 5, 2025, that had everyone on the edge of their seats.
In a dramatic turn of events, the Titans, who were down 21-6 in the fourth quarter, pulled off an incredible comeback. It all started with a crucial mistake by the Cardinals' Emari Demercado, who dropped the ball just before reaching the end zone, turning a potential touchdown into a fumble. This blunder gave the Titans a new lease of life, and they capitalized on it, driving 80 yards to score their first touchdown in eight quarters.
But the drama didn't end there. The Cardinals, known for their mistakes, made another huge error when Dadrion Taylor-Demerson intercepted a pass but fumbled immediately after. The Titans' Tyler Lockett pounced on the loose ball in the end zone, narrowing the Cardinals' lead to just two points with less than five minutes left on the clock.
With the game on the line, the Cardinals had a chance to seal the deal, but they couldn't convert. Instead, they punted the ball back to the Titans, who seized the opportunity. Cam Ward, the Titans' quarterback, connected with Calvin Ridley for a massive 38-yard pass, setting up Joey Slye's game-winning field goal as time expired.
The final score? Titans 22, Cardinals 21. An improbable comeback and a heart-stopping finish!
And here's the part that will leave you scratching your head: the Titans' win snapped a 10-game losing streak. Talk about a turnaround!
But wait, there's more! The game also saw some key injuries. For the Titans, WR Calvin Ridley and RB Tyjae Spears were active, with Spears making his season debut. On the Cardinals' side, CB Max Melton, OL Evan Brown, and DL Darius Robinson were among the team's inactives, and LB Cody Simon and TE Tip Reiman both left the game early due to injuries.
