Arizona Cardinals Hand Baltimore Defeat

Chris Johnson rolled to victory. His Arizona Cardinals had to hold on to win.

Johnson rushed for 122 yards, 62 on a play on which he rolled over the belly of a big defender and kept on running to set up a field goal, and the Cardinals held on to beat the luckless Baltimore Ravens 26-18 on Monday night.

Baltimore (1-6) drove to the 4 in the final seconds before Tony Jefferson's interception deep in the end zone clinched the victory for NFC West-leading Arizona (5-2).

"A lot of things happened during the game," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "Good, bad and one ugly one, but we finished and made a great play at the end."

Arizona led 26-10 before Asa Jackson blocked a punt to set up Joe Flacco's 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk. The two-point conversion pass to Nick Boyle made it an eight-point game with 4:26 to play.

Baltimore got the ball back, and Flacco quickly moved the team downfield before the final ill-fated throw.

"The punt block, and all of a sudden, you let them in," Arizona's Carson Palmer said, "but that's what you want on Monday Night Football. We made it a game at the end."
