10. Karlos Dansby pick six vs Indianapolis

When a team that’s trailing by a significant margin throws a pick six, the mindset of “Well, this game is over” gains a lot of traction.

That’s probably how it felt when LB Karlos Dansby intercepted Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and took it 22 yards to give Arizona a 24-3 before halftime. It was one of the few times that game where the Cardinals made Luck hurry.

The reason it’s ranked tenth is because at that point, it was really icing on the cake. Still, anytime a defense can make a quarterback think too quickly and then make him pay for it, it’s a sign of great defense.
