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.
