Cardinals’ Justin Pugh Defends Kicker Who Missed Tying Field Goal

The Cardinals fell to the Eagles 20–17 on Sunday afternoon in Arizona after kicker Matt Ammendola missed a 43-yard field goal with 23 seconds to play that would have likely sent the game to overtime.

The Eagles, who entered the game undefeated, jumped on Arizona early for a 14–0 lead before the Cardinals clawed their way back into the game going into halftime.

After fighting back to tie the contest at 17, Eagles kicker Cameron Dicker converted on a 23-yard field goal with 1:45 to play to give Philadelphia the 20–17 lead.
