PACKERS WIN OVER CARDINALS, 24-21

GLENDALE, Arizona: Rasul Douglas was living the life of an NFL journeyman just a few weeks ago, bouncing between camps and practice squads in a frustrating process that is football’s version of purgatory.

Finally, the Green Bay Packers liked what they saw.

Now he’s a hero for the league’s hottest team — at one of his former team’s expense on Thursday, October 28 (Friday in Manila).

Douglas corralled an interception with 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter that helped the Packers knock off the previously unbeaten Arizona Cardinals, 2421, in a thriller that featured two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.

“Blessed,” Douglas said. “You’re in a crazy mental state being in the league for five years, never being on the practice squad before. You feel like you are working for nothing. Then you get a call and you are somewhere else and you’re playing.”

The Cardinals looked like they were going to rally to win their eighth straight game, but Kyler Murray threw the stunning interception on second-and-goal as the home crowd groaned in disbelief. A.J. Green didn’t expect the pass to come his way, never turned around, and Douglas was there to snatch the ball in the corner of the end zone.

“We weren’t on the same page,” Murray said. “And it cost us.”

It was a big night for some lesserknown Packers players. Douglas was added to the active roster just three weeks ago when the team needed help in the secondary. He was signed off the Cardinals practice squad, where he spent a few weeks earlier this year.
