GLENDALE—Thursday’s game featured a pair of interceptions by the Seahawks defense, as well as six sacks. There were also plenty of big plays on offense, both through the air and on the ground. And of course, there was Jason Myers’ game-winning field goal as time expired that allowed the Seahawks to secure a 23-20 win over the Cardinals.
But the best play of the day for Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald? That came on a one-yard run in the second quarter. Specifically, it was a one-yard touchdown run by Zach Charbonnet.
On that play, Charbonnet took a run off the left side, and when he was met at the goal line by Cardinals cornerback Max Melton, he stayed on his feet and kept churning his legs long enough for left tackle Charles Cross to come in and push his teammate over the goal line.
“Just helping the team,” Cross said. “As an offense, you want to keep the ball moving forward, and that was part of keeping the ball moving forward. Zach did a great job executing and running the ball, and once he got to where he was at, I just had to help finish it off.”
