Rabbit Taylor-Demerson just shook his head as he recalled the play.
“It definitely was a one-on-a-million situation,” the safety said.
Taylor-Demerson was, of course, talking about his interception against the Titans that he ended up fumbling away untouched, and in the ensuing cacophony of the play, turned into a touchdown for the Titans. The pick was an athletic achievement, bending back on a tipped pass to snare it. Rabbit never was quite on balance, but he was athletic enough to tuck the ball under his arm and take three steps before he fell to the ground.
That was enough to make it a “catch,” and why when the ball popped out as he hit the turf if was a fumble and not an incompletion.
The Cardinals were winning the game, 21-12, at that point, and the turnover would’ve all but sealed the win. Seconds later, the ball loose, it was accidently kicked by cornerback Kei’Trel Clark in his haste to get the ball, and Clark, Taylor-Demerson, Budda Baker and Will Johnson all were close to the ball as it trickled into the end zone — where Titans receiver Tyler Lockett fell on it.
