The Arizona Cardinals have had a notable 2024 season with several standout defensive plays. Here are some highlights from their top defensive moments:
Budda Baker set the tone early in a game against the Rams by stopping Cooper Kupp on a fourth-and-2 play, leading to an early turnover and setting up Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first career touchdown.
Dennis Gardeck made an impact with a strip-sack fumble recovery by L.J. Collier during a match against the Rams, contributing to the team's dominant performance.
Starling Thomas V displayed his speed against the Chargers by forcing a touchdown-saving fumble on Jalen Reagor, which played a crucial role in the Cardinals' narrow victory.
Garrett Williams continued to shine with key interceptions in games against both the Seahawks and Commanders. His interception against Seattle was part of his consistent performance at Lumen Field, while he became the first player to intercept rookie Jayden Daniels from Washington.
Jesse Luketa's "Superman punch" forced a fumble against the 49ers, which led to Kyler Murray engineering a game-winning drive for Chad Ryland's field goal.
Rookie linebacker Xavier Thomas delivered a pivotal strip-sack on Aaron Rodgers of the Jets, helping secure a shutout in the second half of their win.
Mack Wilson Sr. made an impressive interception after Roy Lopez deflected Brock Purdy's pass in another encounter with San Francisco.
Kyzir White ensured victory over San Francisco by intercepting Brock Purdy's pass following pressure from safety Jalen Thompson.
Kei'Trel Clark ended the season memorably with an interception during a blitz that thwarted Joshua Dobbs' quick throw attempt. Though initially thought to be returned for a touchdown, it marked Clark’s first interception as he filled in for Sean Murphy-Bunting due to injury.
These plays contributed significantly to Arizona's defensive success throughout their 2024 campaign.
