Jason Myers kicked a 52-yard field goal with the final play of the game as the Seattle Seahawks sealed a dramatic 23-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cardinals had rallied from 14 points down to tie the game with 28 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, with quarterback Kyler Murray throwing for two touchdowns.
Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold then put his team into field goal territory before Myers slotted the winning kick.
It marked the second time in a week that Arizona lost with the last kick of the game, after a 16-15 defeat by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Myers, 34, kicked three field goals in the away victory at State Farm Stadium, but missed one from 53 yards just minutes before.
“I’ve seen this guy play golf – he’s a stud,” said Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald. “He’s got ice in his veins. We knew he was going to make that kick.”
Myers added: “I didn’t try to change anything – just stay true to my routine.”
Seattle move to a 3-1 win record, while Arizona are 2-2.
