They’re kicking themselves
SEATTLE 6, ARIZONA 6 (OT)
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Seattle’s Stephen Hauschka and Arizona’s Chandler Catanzaro missed short field-goal tries that would have won the game in overtime and the Seahawks and Cardinals settled for a 6-6 tie Sunday night.
Hauschka’s 27-yard field-goal attempt was wide left with seven seconds left after Catanzaro’s try from 24 yards bounced off the left upright.
“I make that kick 999,999 times out of a million,” Catanzaro said.
It was the first tie in Seahawks history and the first for the Cardinals since 1986. The last tie in the NFL had been between Carolina and Cincinnati, 37-37, in 2014.
The Cardinals (3-3-1) dominated statistically and looked to be in shape to win it after Carson Palmer’s 40-yard pass to J.J. Nelson set up Catanzaro’s kick.
“It’s disappointing to put up those kind numbers and not come away with points because of the kicking game,” Arizona Coach Bruce Arians said.
The Seahawks, stuffed throughout regulation by the Arizona defense, took over and Russell Wilson completed passes of 31 yards to Jermaine Kearse and 27 yards to Doug Baldwin to give Hauschka his attempt.
Both kickers made field goals on their teams’ first possession of overtime.
Catanzaro, who kicked field goals of 46 and 45 yards, also had a 39-yard field-goal try blocked.
Until the overtime, the only time the Seahawks (4-1-1) crossed midfield was when Tanner McEnvoy blocked Ryan Quigley’s punt with 4 minutes 33 seconds to play. That gave Seattle the ball on the Arizona 27 and led to Hauschka’s 40-yard field goal that tied it, 3-3, with four minutes to play.
Catanzaro’s 46-yard field goal put Arizona ahead, 3-0, with 3:11 left in the first half.
