Kickers miss short field goals, Seahawks, Cards tie 6

That list probably starts with Cardinals and Seahawks kickers Chandler Catanzaro and Steven Hauschka, who both missed chip-shot field goals late in overtime Sunday night to bring the game to an anticlimactic 6-6 tie.

Chandler Catanzaro’s missed 24-yard field goal try in overtime was only the last of a series of missed opportunities. The Seahawks (4-1-1) played the first tie game in franchise history. If the Cardinals can’t get the job done and build a winning record through that stretch, they are unlikely to be in the playoff race come December. Hopefully, sometimes a tie can help you.

I sure hope so. The coach said outside linebacker Alex Okafor will miss the Carolina game with a strained calf.

Catanzaro, who kicked field goals of 46 and 45 yards, also had a 39-yard field goal blocked by a stunning play by Bobby Wagner.

Make it. This is professional, this ain’t high school, baby. “Those guys were unbelievably tough handling it because your body goes into some other realms when it gets that dehydrated, and those guys had to make it through it and they did”. The Seahawks didn’t break 100 yards until 10:13 was left in the game.

Speedy J.J. Nelson couldn’t outrun the defense on a 40-yard pass play in overtime. I feel great. There’s times where some games I run, scramble and make a play. Wilson, still limited by ankle and knee injuries, showed no ill effects from the play and actually finished with 225 yards passing.

“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.

Then, Catanzaro came on and clunked his attempt off the post. The Cardinals head coach didn’t spare any words when asked after the game about what he told his kicker after the soul-crushing miss.

“It is disappointing”, Hauschka said.

Let’s just leave it at that and pretend the rest never happened, shall we?

Making his third career start, Jones threw for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Arizona had almost a 20-minute edge in time of possession overall – 46:19 to 28:39.

“It was a battle”, Palmer said.

Really, Carroll might have been happy to have been anywhere even close in a game given those circumstances.

On the next drive, Seahawks receiver Tanner McEvoy fought through a block and deflected a punt deep in Cardinals territory.

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback has thrown just only passed two touchdowns over the past four games after throwing a five through the first two weeks of the season with some hard matchups have surely given to the droop.

The Arizona Cardinals’ season was very much on the line in their Week 7 Sunday Night Football clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Kansas City added a 41-yard field goal, and the Saints could do nothing in the final 28 seconds.

The Bucs (3-3) fell behind by 14 points early before scoring 27 straight to deal the Niners (1-6) their sixth straight loss for San Francisco’s longest losing streak since 2008. They remain 1 1/2 games ahead of Arizona (3-3-1) in the NFC West.

Wagner hurdled the Arizona long snapper Aaron Brewer to get to the kicker.

BLOWN CHANCES: The Cardinals dominated the game statistically but couldn’t capitalize.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals didn’t really know how to react after a 6-6 tie. “It’s something we’ve seen on film”. Wagner definitely appeared to touch Brewer, though he claimed otherwise.
