The Arizona Cardinals came up just short of a comeback victory against the Seattle Seahawks to close their 2023 NFL season, with kicker Matt Prater pushing a field goal wide as the clock expired.
With the loss, the Cardinals fell to 4–13 on the year, bringing an end to what has been a tough year for the franchise.
While Prater’s last-second miss was undoubtedly disappointing to some fans in the stadium who wished to head into the offseason with a good memory of the season, many Cardinals fans online actually celebrated Prater’s kick, for one simple reason: Draft position.
