Rasul Douglas corralled an interception with 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter that helped the Green Bay Packers knock off the previously unbeaten Arizona Cardinals 24-21 in a thriller that featured two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.
The Cardinals looked like they were going to rally to win their eighth straight game but Kyler Murray threw the interception on second-and-goal as A.J. Green didn’t expect the pass to come his way. He never turned around and Douglas was there to snatch the ball in the corner of the end zone.
(Douglas was added to the active roster just three weeks ago when the team needed help in the secondary. He was signed off the Cardinals practice squad, where he spent a few weeks earlier this year.)
Randall Cobb’s clutch night was much needed since Green Bay was playing without their two top receivers. Davante Adams and Allen Lazard were put on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week, but the 31-year-old Cobb responded with two touchdowns that were both tough catches in traffic.
Green Bay (7-1) has won seven straight games after dropping the season opener. Arizona (7-1) was trying to set a franchise record for longest winning streak to start a season but instead tied the mark set in 1974.
