Dane Cruikshank’s pass breakup seals Titans’ win over Ravens in NFL playoffs

The number of Arizona Wildcats in the NFL has dwindled over the past few years, but at least one made a difference in Saturday’s playoff action.

Former UA defensive back Dane Cruikshank made a game-sealing pass breakup to lead the Tennessee Titans past the No. 1-seeded Baltimore Ravens and into the AFC Championship game.

Trailing 28-12 with 4:31 left, the Ravens faced 4th and 5 at the Titans 19-yard line. Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson tried to fit a pass over the middle to Mark Andrews but Cruikshank, who was smothering the tight end, used his long wingspan to knock it down.
