Arizona’s Week 5 loss to Tennessee was a gut punch, built on a sequence of self-inflicted errors and a flood of penalties that doomed what looked like a potential breakout. The game opened with a sharp, high-flying offense, but eight flags and a string of critical mistakes flipped the script and handed the Titans a chance to steal it in the final seconds.

Kyler Murray connected on early drives with Harrison Jr. and the run game showed life, but the offense faded after the break as the Cardinals couldn’t sustain momentum or adjust to adversity. On the other side, Arizona’s defense pressured Cam Ward and held firm most of the day, even as the walk-off FG ended hopes for Week 6. The result leaves questions about coaching, ball security, and how the roster responds in the coming days.

The takeaway: the team has bright spots—Murray’s start, Harrison Jr.’s chemistry, a stout defensive push—but must clean nonnegotiables like ball security and discipline if they want to salvage the season. Week 6 looms as a critical test for the Cardinals’ adjustments and leadership under fire.

Two goal-line miscues reshaped a wild Week 4 clash and sent fantasy managers scrambling. Mitchell’s fumble at the goal line cost Indianapolis a likely score, while Demercado’s supposed 72-yard TD was erased by a late turnover, flipping momentum to Tennessee. The Titans rode the misfortunes into an 80-yard TD drive and their first win in weeks, aided by a red-zone fumble recovery by Taylor-Demerson that became a Tennessee TD. Ball-security near the stripe proved decisive in this one.

Titans erased a 21-3 deficit to stun the Cardinals 22-21 in Week 5, fuelled by Arizona miscues and a late Tennessee surge. Emari Demercado’s wide-open TD fumble sparked the rally, a Dadrion Taylor-Demerson turnover turned into a Titans TD with Tyler Lockett cashing in, and Cam Ward then orchestrated a 71-yard march that set up Joey Slye’s 29-yard game-winner. Tennessee’s first win since 2024 capped a wild comeback.

Ward, the No. 1 overall pick, looked poised on the late drive, while Kyler Murray couldn’t close it out for Arizona. The chaotic sequence underscored Tennessee’s resilience and could shift fantasy outlooks as Ward gains a clearer hold on the offense and Slye becomes a trusted kicking option.
