The Arizona Cardinals‘ head coach was fined for his sideline outburst. The fine came after Jonathan Gannon erupted on running back Emari Demercado, who dropped the ball in celebration just before scoring what should have been a 72-yard touchdown. The blunder turned into a fumble through the end zone, giving possession to the Titans. This made Cardunals’ 21-6 lead vanish quickly into a 22-21 loss. Following a $100,000 fine, Gannon is now under the spotlight, but this time it shines bright on him as he reopens the controversial past of a former ally.

Recently, Jonathan Gannon talked about when he first had to take emotion out of injuries and other roster issues while looking back on his first NFL season in 2007 with the Atlanta Falcons, the same year Michael Vick was poised for an MVP run before landing in prison. “2007, when our quarterback went to jail,” Tyler Drake, the Arizona Cardinals editor, wrote on X.

Gannon was serving as the defensive quality control coach for the Atlanta Falcons when Michael Vick’s shocking arrest for his role in a dogfighting ring sent the franchise, even the entire NFL, into turmoil. Gallon called the year a “complete trainwreck,” recalling how the team was forced to quickly adapt to the chaos that followed Vick’s sudden legal troubles.
