Kicker's Last-Second Kick Steals Victory for Cardinals

This: a football game so close, it came down to the final second. That's exactly what happened when the Cardinals played against the Chargers. The Cardinals' kicker, Chad Ryland, nailed a 32-yard field goal right as the clock hit zero. This was Ryland's second game-winning kick of the season, and it gave the Cardinals a 17-15 win. The Cardinals aren't having the easiest time this season, but this win brought their record up to 3-4. The Chargers, on the other hand, dropped to 3-3. You could say the Chargers had a tough break. They couldn't get a touchdown, and in the first half, Jalen Reagor even lost a fumble in the end zone. The Chargers' kicker, Cameron Dicker, did his best to keep them in the game. He made field goals from 59, 50, 28, 47, and 40 yards. The last one came with just 1:54 left on the clock. It looked like the Chargers were about to take the lead for good. They started a drive at their own 1-yard line and moved the ball 77 yards in 15 plays, eating up over 8 minutes of game time. But the Cardinals weren't done yet.With 1:54 left, the Cardinals got the ball back at their own 30-yard line. Their quarterback, Kyler Murray, led a quick 7-play drive. He had help from a 15-yard penalty against the Chargers and a 33-yard pass to James Conner, which got them to the Chargers' 22-yard line. That set up Ryland's game-winning kick. Even though the Chargers outgained the Cardinals in total yards (395 to 326), they couldn't quite finish their drives. They stalled at the Arizona 41, 32, 10, 29, and 22-yard lines. The Chargers' quarterback, Justin Herbert, had a good game. He completed 27 out of 39 passes for 349 yards. Will Dissly caught 8 passes for 81 yards, and Joshua Palmer caught 4 for 63 yards. Murray, the Cardinals' quarterback, wasn't far behind. He completed 14 out of 26 passes for 145 yards, including a touchdown and an interception. He also ran for a 44-yard touchdown and had 64 yards on 6 carries. Conner, the Cardinals' running back, rushed for 101 yards on 19 carries and caught 2 passes for 51 yards. Greg Dortch caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Murray.
