Welcome to "Gridiron Update" with Big Dill Sports! I'm Dillon, your host, here to walk you through all the action from last night's thrilling Thursday Night Football showdown. The Seattle Seahawks squeaked past the Arizona Cardinals with a final score of 23-20. Let's dive into the game highlights, player performances, and the moment that made one player the "big dill" of the game.

First up, let's talk about the final score and standings. The Seahawks now boast a 3-1 record while the Cardinals drop to a balanced 2-2. The game ended dramatically with a last-second, 52-yard field goal by Jason Myers, clinching the victory for Seattle. A tough break for Arizona, exacerbated by a crucial special-teams miscue under the league’s new dynamic kickoff rule.

Now, the game flow. It was a rollercoaster! The Cardinals looked down and out, trailing 20-10 in the fourth quarter. But Kyler Murray was having none of it. With two touchdown drives in the last six minutes, the score was tied at 20 apiece. Although some questioned the choice to go for extra points instead of two-point conversions, Murray sparked some serious excitement.

But then, with just 28 seconds left, Arizona's kicker Chad Ryland messed up with a short kickoff, setting Seattle up at the 40-yard line. Sam Darnold worked his magic with a critical 22-yard pass, leading to Myers's game-winner.

Speaking of which, Jason Myers was clutch, nailing the big kick when it mattered most. He did miss a 53-yard attempt earlier but made up for it, becoming even more of a hero in this tight situation.

Let’s highlight some standout Offensive performances. For the Seahawks, Sam Darnold connected on 18 of 26 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown. Kenneth Walker III impressed with his explosive runs, adding critical yardage, including a 23-yard burst. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was leading in receiving yards, pulling off a big 34-yard catch to set up their lone offensive touchdown.

On the Cardinals’ side, Kyler Murray, despite being sacked six times, threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns. Trey Benson stepped up in the absence of James Conner, and Michael Wilson added valuable yardage, even getting a vital pass-interference call in the third quarter.

Defensively, Arizona's unit was strong early, holding Seattle scoreless in the first half and securing three sacks. For Seattle, their special teams showed prowess with Michael Dickson's booming punts, pinning Arizona back and creating pressure.

Checking in on the injuries: Seattle’s DeMarcus Lawrence left the game early with a thigh injury and his return is doubtful. On the Cardinals’ side, they missed starter James Conner, while slot corner Jalen Thompson played despite being under the weather.

What’s next for these teams? The victory keeps Seattle in the mix in the NFC West, trailing just behind the 49ers. Up next, they face the Green Bay Packers at home. As for the Cardinals, they're going to need to regroup quickly. Their next battle is against the Tennessee Titans, with eyes on improving situational execution.

Now, it’s time for the Big Dill—our standout player. This week, it’s gotta be Jason Myers. With the game on the line, he delivered, securing his spot as the undeniable big deal of the game.
