"Early in the fourth quarter, Cardinals running back Emari Demercado broke free for what should have been a 72-yard touchdown. Unfortunately for both him and the team, Demercado dropped the ball just before crossing the goal line. The result was a fumble that landed out of bounds in the end zone, resulting in no touchdown and the Titans starting a drive at the Cardinals' 20-yard line."
"After the fumble, Gannon immediately fumed on Demercado. A video recorded from the stands showed an incensed Gannon screaming at the running back and even appearing to hit him. The NFL fined the coach $100,000, and Gannon has since apologized for the outburst. ESPN reporting the #AZCardinals are fining head coach Jonathan Gannon $100K for his sideline exchange with RB Emari Demercado. Gannon apologized to Demercado and the team yesterday and said Demercado wouldn't face any punishment for dropping the ball before the end zone."
"During Wednesday's presser, a reporter asked Gannon how early in his career he had to start trying to figure out how to take the emotion out of coaching. The report specifically cited the numerous injuries afflicting the Cardinals as a potential source of frustration. Gannon took his answer where no one expected it [In] 2007, he said, when our quarterback went to jail."
