Ifeanyi Momah absorbed the shot from Raiders safety Taylor Mays – “It was a big hit, but I initiated it too,” the Cardinals tight end said later – and his helmet popped up a bit, chinstrap coming up by his nose.
Without breaking stride, Momah fixed his helmet with his left hand while holding the ball with his right and rumbling for 38 total yards to set up what eventually became the game-winning touchdown.
If Momah, the wide receiver-turned-tight end, ever had questions about whether he’d make the 53-man roster, that play and the 16-yard catch-and-broken-tackle play right before should have sealed his confidence.
