Cardinals running back Emari Demercado didn’t learn any lessons from Colts wideout Adonai Mitchell.
Mitchell let go of the ball before crossing into the end zone during the Colts’ Week 4 loss to the Rams and Demercado did the same thing in the fourth quarter against the Titans this Sunday. Demercado appeared to score on a 72-yard run, but he let the ball come out of his hand before he actually scored. The Titans took over after a touchback and put together their best offensive drive of the game.
Quarterback Cam Ward hit Calvin Ridley for a 47-yard gain and then got the ball to the 1-yard line on a pass to fellow rookie Gunner Helm. Tony Pollard scored a couple of plays later to cut the score to 21-12.
The Titans opted not to go for two, but it remains a two-score game because kicker Joey Slye missed the extra point.
