In a game where the offense is struggling, Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker made sure to pick up his teammates. The second-year safety picked up a fumble and took it to the house for the game-tying touchdown.
Late in the second quarter, Cardinals edge rusher Chandler Jones strip sacked Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. Baker showed tremendous instincts and quickly picked up the football then took off for the 36-yard touchdown.
BOOM!
BUDDA!

Jones is one of the game’s best pass rushers and showed it once again on Sunday by knocking the ball out of Cousins’ hand. Baker was drafted for his playmaking ability and he provided exactly that in a crucial moment.
