DETROIT – Two defensive backs nabbed interceptions for the Cardinals on Sunday, but that’s in their job description. When a defensive lineman picks one off, it really gets a postgame locker room buzzing.
Following a dominant six-turnover performance by the defense in Sunday’s 42-17 victory over the Lions, much of the attention focused on the pick-and-sprint by veteran defensive end Cory Redding in the second quarter.
Redding intercepted a screen pass in what was then a tie game, returned it 30 yards and nearly scored on the play. Before the play, defensive line coach Brentson Buckner called out what Detroit was going to run, which earned praise from coach Bruce Arians in his postgame press conference.
