PHILADELPHIA -- Patrick Peterson flew into a fit on the Arizona Cardinals' sideline shortly after Arizona gave up a 72-yard touchdown pass by Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz to fall behind 31-7 in the third quarter.

He slammed his fist on the bench and stood up yelling before he was embraced and restrained by cornerbacks coach Kevin Ross.

After the 34-7 loss, Peterson explained his outburst.

“I wouldn’t say I was frustrated,” Peterson said. “I was just upset. I’m a passionate guy, a leader on this defense, a captain of this team, and I just wanted to show my players how upset I was and hopefully, it got through to them. It was where a number of things that went wrong on that play that caused me to get upset but we’ll keep that on the field.”

The play that irked Peterson was matched Philadelphia receiver Nelson Agholor against Cardinals rookie safety Budda Baker. Agholor had a step on Baker, who he then turned twice while making moves to get to the end zone.

Arizona gave up four touchdown passes by Wentz, who threw for 304 yards on 21-of-30 passing. In addition to the 72-yard touchdown pass, Arizona also gave up a 59-yard touchdown catch by Torrey Smith.
