Cardinals dropped the easiest interception ever from Andy Dalton (Video)

The Arizona Cardinals were handed a gift to by Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton, but they dropped it.

Dak Prescott has been the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys since the very first game of his rookie season, and he never missed a game. That, unfortunately, came to an end after Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury last week against the New York Giants. Luckily for the Cowboys, they signed a former starter in Andy Dalton as a backup just in case something were to happen to Prescott. It was a great contingency plan, or so they thought.

In the first quarter of Dallas’ game against the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, Dalton attempted to throw a pass deep downfield, but appeared to be hit by safety Budda Baker. The former Cincinnati Bengals signal caller let go of the ball and it went directly to the hands of Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks…who proceeded to drop an easy interception! Seriously, that was the easiest pick in NFL history, but it was all for naught.

A brutal pass that could have been worse for Dalton

It appeared that Dalton let off on his pass after feeling Baker make contact with him, before deciding to throw the ball with a lot of panic and a lot less velocity. It was a bad throw that Hicks should have secured for the interception, but he bobbled it.

Luckily for the Cardinals, the Cowboys did nothing on that drive. More importantly, Arizona was able to secure two turnovers after Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott had a case of fumble-itis. So far, the Dalton experiment in Dallas hasn’t been pretty, but you have to take into consideration that their offensive line is in shambles. But there are no excuses. They’ll have to make do with what they have for the remainder of the campaign.
