He continued his reprimand as he walked away from Demercado and apparently made contact with the running back&#8217;s right arm.\n\nOn Monday, Gannon stated that he apologized to Demercado and the Cardinals players during a team meeting that afternoon.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I just told them that, somehow, I let the moment of what happened get the better of me there.<\/p><cite>Jonathan Gannon<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSources indicated that there will be no further sanctions for Gannon.\n\nGannon becomes the first NFL head coach to be fined for an altercation with a player since the league fined then-Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians $50,000 for hitting safety Andrew Adams&#8217; helmet during a wild-card game in January 2022 against the Philadelphia Eagles.\n\nDemercado&#8217;s error proved costly in Arizona&#8217;s eventual 22-21 defeat.\n\nHad they scored, the touchdown and extra point would have put Arizona up 28-6 with about 12:40 remaining in the fourth quarter. Teams with a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter have a 1,276-1 record in the last 25 seasons.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardinals Fine Jonathan Gannon for Sideline Altercation TEMPE, Ariz. \u2013 The Arizona Cardinals have fined their coach, Jonathan Gannon, $100,000 due to the altercation he had on the bench on Sunday with running back Emari Demercado, according to sources.
