Glendale, AZ – In a thrilling contest on Thursday Night Football, the Seattle Seahawks narrowly escaped with a 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals thanks to a clutch 52-yard field goal by Jason Myers as time expired.
The Seahawks had built a substantial lead early but watched their advantage evaporate in the fourth quarter as the Cardinals mounted a fierce comeback. Seattle’s defense struggled to contain Arizona’s offense late, allowing the Cardinals to close the gap and put the game in jeopardy.

With the game tied and the clock winding down, the Seahawks executed a decisive drive to reach field goal range. Jason Myers, who had missed a 53-yard attempt earlier in the game but made kicks from 44 and 31 yards, lined up for the 52-yard try. Despite some wobble, the kick sailed through the uprights as the clock hit zero, securing Seattle’s eighth straight victory over Arizona.

The victory reinforces Seattle’s standing in the NFC West division, showing poise under pressure and the ability to close tight games. Arizona, on the other hand, showed flashes with a strong late rally but ultimately fell short against a resilient Seattle squad.
