GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Stephen Hauschka needed only to make a 27-yard field goal to give the Seattle Seahawks an overtime victory over Arizona.Chandler Catanzaros only had to hit a 24-yarder to give the Cardinals a win.Such kicks are often called automatic. They arent.Hauschkas kick was wide left with 7 seconds left after Catanzaro booted one off the left upright, and the game between two teams that have dominated the NFC West in recent years ended in a 6-6 tie Sunday night.I make that kick 999,999 times out of a million, Catanzaro said.The last tie in the NFL came in 2014, when Carolina and Cincinnati tied 37-37. It was the Cardinals first tie since Dec. 7, 1986, a 10-10 draw at Philadelphia when the franchise was based in St. Louis, and the first for Seattle since entering the NFL in 1976. There had not been an NFL tie with no touchdowns scored since 1972.That was really an amazing football game, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. I dont think I have ever been in a tie before and my brain doesnt really know where to go.The Cardinals (3-3-1) dominated the game statistically and looked to be in shape to win it after Carson Palmers 40-yard pass to J.J. Nelson set up Catanzaros short kick.The Seahawks (4-1-1), stuffed throughout regulation by the Arizona defense, took over and Russell Wilson completed passes of 31 yards to Jermaine Kearse and 27 yards to Doug Baldwin to give Hauschka his short attempt.We work hard to make those kicks all season long and it is disappointing when it doesnt go well, Hauschka said. I feel like I let my team down.Both kickers made field goals on their teams first possession of overtime.Catanzaro, who kicked field goals of 46 and 45 yards, also had a 39-yard field goal blocked by a stunning play by Bobby Wagner .Until overtime, the only time the Seahawks crossed midfield came when Tanner McEnvoy blocked Ryan Quigleys punt with 4:33 to play. That gave Seattle the ball on the Arizona 27 and led to Hauschkas 40-yard field goal that tied it at 3 with four minutes to play.Its disappointing to put up those kind numbers and not come away with points because of the kicking game, Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. Its disheartening to play that well and not come away with a victory.Catanzaros 46-yard field goal put Arizona up 3-0 with 3:11 left in the first half, and the Cardinals nursed that lead until the blocked punt.On a bruising night, Arizonas David Johnson had a career-high 41 touches. He carried the ball 33 times for 113 yards and caught eight passes for 58 yards. Wilson, obviously slowed by leg problems, completed 24 of 37 passes for 225 yards, most of the damage coming in the overtime. He carried the ball once for minus-2 yards.Arizonas defense nearly scored halfway through the fourth quarter when Chandler Jones hit Wilson as he was about to pass and the ball bounced toward the Seattle goal line, but Michael Glowinski jumped on it for Seattle at the 4-yard line, a 20-yard loss.The Cardinals finished with a 443-257 advantage in yards, 23-11 in firsts downs and 46:21 to 28:39 in time of possession.Arizona had one drive end when the Cardinals failed on fourth-and-1 from the Seattle 19. And Johnson came so close to scoring a game-winning touchdown on Arizonas last possession. He ran four yards to the 1-yard line and his foot knocked over the pylon as he was knocked outside, but officials did not review to see if it was a score.SUPREME HURDLEThe Cardinals had the first scoring threat. Catanzaro lined up for a 39-yard field goal but 245-pound linebacker Wagner jumped over Arizona long snapper Aaron Brewer like an Olympic hurdler and blocked it. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians argued loudly for a penalty and was charged with a timeout when he challenged a play that is not reviewable. That proved significant when the Cardinals couldnt stop the clock to get off a short field goal attempt as the first half ended.MISSING BROWNSThe Cardinals were without speedster John Brown after doctors diagnosed sickle cell traits that were causing leg pain. The other wide receiver named Brown, Jaron, left the game early with a knee injury, depleting is usually one of the leagues deeper wide receiver corps.UP NEXTThe Seahawks play at New Orleans next Sunday, while the Cardinals play at Carolina next Sunday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Fake Orioles Jerseys .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
