TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — It's a play that would have haunted the Arizona Cardinals in previous years: Cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. was called for a taunting penalty after a third-down defensive stop, giving the Houston Texans a chance to continue their drive.
This version of the Cardinals wasn't bothered a bit.
Three plays later, linebacker Markus Golden sacked Davis Mills, stripped the football and recovered it, and the Cardinals went on to score a touchdown on the ensuing drive on the way to a dominant 31-5 win over the Texans on Sunday.
