GLENDALE, Ariz. – Chris Johnson rolled his way to a big play, and Joe Flacco couldn't quite respond with one of his own.
And the Arizona Cardinals escaped with a 26-18 victory over the luckless Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.
Johnson rushed for 122 yards, 62 on a play where he rolled over the belly of a big defender and kept on running to set up a field goal.
Baltimore drove to the Arizona 4-yard line in the final seconds before Tony Jefferson's interception deep in the end zone clinched the victory for NFC West-leading Arizona (5-2).
"A lot of things happened during the game," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "Good, bad and one ugly one, but we finished and made a great play at the end."
Arizona led 26-10 before Asa Jackson's blocked a punt to set up Flacco's 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk. The two-point conversion pass to Nick Boyle made it an eight-point game with 4 minutes, 26 seconds to play.
Baltimore (1-6) got the ball back and Flacco quickly moved the team downfield before the final ill-fated throw.
"The punt block and all of a sudden you let them in," Arizona's Carson Palmer said, "but that's what you want on 'Monday Night Football.' We made it a game at the end."
