SEATTLE — Jason Myers sent the Seattle Seahawks to a 29-26 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday at Lumen Field when he hit a 43-yard field goal in the final seconds.
That kick also sent Week 10 of the NFL season into the record books.
The Seahawks’ win over Washington was the fifth game of the day that was decided on a made field goal as time expired, joining the Cleveland Browns over the Baltimore Ravens, the Houston Texans over the Cincinnati Bengals, the Arizona Cardinals over the Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions over the Los Angeles Chargers.
According to Elias Sports Bureau research, the five matchups decided by a game-winning score as time expired in regulation was the most on a single day in NFL history. The previous record was three such games, which happened several times.
The Browns trailed for 59 minutes and 20 seconds before Dustin Hopkins’ 40-yard field goal secured them a 33-31 win. According to ESPN Stats & Information, no other team this millennium has won while trailing for that long in a game. Cleveland also became just the fourth team in the Super Bowl era to win after trailing in the opening minute and not leading until the final minute of regulation, according to Elias.
« No one ducked their head or shied away from the moment, » Browns defensive end Myles Garrett said.
