Glendale, Ariz. — In the battle of two banged-up, struggling offenses, the Detroit Lions were able to ride a Darius Slay pick-six to the team’s first victory in Arizona in a quarter-century, besting the Cardinals on Sunday, 17-3.
Late in the third quarter, after making just their second trip in Lions territory on the day, Slay stepped in front of a pass from one rookie to another, snatching away Josh Rosen’s throw intended for wide receiver Trent Sherfield, returning it 67 yards down the left sideline to give the Lions a 10-0 lead with 3:03 remaining.
