The Seattle Seahawks held off the Arizona Cardinals’ fourth-quarter comeback attempt, scoring a game-winning field goal as time expired to win 23-20 Thursday night.The Cardinals’ offense struggled most of the game before wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. caught an overhead, high-point touchdown early in the fourth quarter to threaten the lead Seattle held all night. On their next possession, the Cardinals tied the game with quarterback Kyler Murray’s short pass to running back Emari Demercado.However, it wasn’t enough to hold off Seattle, as quarterback Sam Darnold marched the Seahawks down the field, setting up Jason Myers’ walk-off 52-yard field goal.Seattle improved to 3-1 with the win, while the Cardinals fell to 2-2.Seahawks escape CardinalsThis game probably shouldn’t have come down to a game-winning kick. The Seahawks were in control most of the game on both sides of the ball. But the offense stalled on multiple trips into Arizona territory, and Seattle’s defensive backs were on the wrong end of multiple explosive plays in the final frame, allowing the Cardinals to tie it up.This ultimately came down to the Cardinals not having any answers in the second half for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, whose 22-yard catch on the final drive set up Myers’ game-winner. Smith-Njigba had all 79 of his receiving yards in the second half — mostly against cornerback Max Melton — to help secure a third straight victory. — Michael-Shawn Dugar, Seahawks beat writer
