Fine defensive play by Sheldon Rankins and Will Anderson, Jr. of the Houston Texans.

Caught Aaron Rogers in the backfield, stripped the ball, and Rankins ran it in for a TD. I always think of John Madden when one of the big guys gets a score like that.

They traded the pick to the Texans and later drafted LT Paris Johnson who the Cardinals definitely need.

I just find it interesting that the Cardinals drafted a lot of defensive players in the last 3 years but Will Anderson Jr turned out to be a really great player for a defensive prospect compared to a lot of defensive prospects the Cardinals ended up drafting.

Sheldon Rankins was totally out of gas as he approached the end zone.

He was still excited about his score and Anderson was still sucking o2 sitting next to him.

If he retires, and he should, this will be his last game in the NFL.

Off the top of my head, I think some other somewhat-recently retired QB threw a pick 6 on their last play too. But I cannot recall who.
