Jefferson Pick Saves Cardinals' Close Win

Tony Jefferson was already ticked off, allowing a lob pass over the top to tight end Crockett Gillmore to even put the Cardinals in a place they didn’t want to be.

So as the Baltimore Ravens tried to beat the safety one more time with Gillmore in the end zone – and the Cardinals nursing an eight-point lead – Jefferson was ready, hauling a game-saving interception Willie Mays-style.

“He had caught two passes on me (on the drive) already and I knew they were going to go back at me,” Jefferson said, after the Cardinals were able to exhale following a 26-18 win Monday night at University of Phoenix Stadium.
