Seahawks stave off Cardinals with game-winning field goal in thrilling win on the road

Colin Cowherd reacts to The Athletic's NFL front office rankings, with the Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs on top.

The Seattle Seahawks held off their NFC West rival, the Arizona Cardinals, in a 23-20 victory on the road on Thursday night.

The Seahawks improved to 3-1 to start the early season, while the Cardinals fell to 2-2.
