In this story:

It was destined to be that in an intense, overtime NFL contest between the Arizona Cardinals and the Las Vegas Raiders came down to one former Clemson player making a play on another former Tiger. 

Arizona linebacker Isaiah Simmons hit Raiders receiver Hunter Renfrow to knock the ball out. It was picked up by Byron Murphy of the Cardinals and returned 40 yards for the game-winning touchdown. 

Renfrow also fumbled two plays earlier but it was recovered by Las Vegas.

The visiting Cardinals rallied from a 20-0 deficit at halftime to shock the Raiders 29-23 in OT. 

The Raiders look to bounce back next week as a 1-point underdog at Tennessee while Arizona hosts Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams as a 4-point underdog.
