TEMPE, Ariz. -- Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon apologized to
Three Week 5 losses that Barnwell can't quite believe: What went wrong for the Cardinals, Eagles and Rams?
Demercado's touchdown would've put Arizona up 28-6 with about 12:40 left in the fourth quarter. Teams up 22 in the fourth quarter are 1,276-1 over the past 25 seasons, according to ESPN Research.
The Titans scored on the drive after Demercado's blunder, kick-starting a comeback that gave them their first win of the season and the Cardinals one of their worst losses in franchise history.
Gannon didn't bench Demercado after the play and said Monday that there wouldn't be a repercussion for the blunder.
"Just the best thing for the team," Gannon said.
Gannon said his reaction was a result of the pent-up frustration in a game full of gaffes, mistakes and ill-timed penalties.
"I just thought it was a big play in the game that it needs to be executed," Gannon said. "I've seen us do that before, execute those things, and we hold our hat on standard operating procedures about the ball, and I just would've liked to see it execute a little bit better there."
Gannon also announced that second-year tight end Tip Reiman will go on injured reserve and miss the rest of the season because of an ankle injury.
"That's a big loss," Gannon said.
