2. Patrick Peterson one-handed interception

This may not only end up being one of the best defensive plays of the year for the Cardinals, this is definitely a top five in the NFL so far in 2016.  Patrick Peterson’s one-handed interception against the Buffalo Bills still has some shaking their heads.

Facing the receiver and not the quarterback, making the catch over his shoulder, with one hand, all the while staying in bounds.  Most impressive.

Peterson has made numerous great plays since his arrival in Arizona in 2011 but this one takes the cake.  The Cardinals may have been blown out and on a day where the defense certainly did not shine as a whole, Peterson provided some positive news on the defensive side of things before this game got out of control.

It was unfortunate the Cardinals couldn’t turn more plays like this against the Bills.  They were needed.
