In a surprising turn of events during the Sunday game set for January 1, the Arizona Cardinals executed a successful trick play against the Seattle Seahawks. Initially lining up for a field goal on fourth and 3, Cardinals' kicker Matt Prater appeared to be in position before sprinting out as a wide receiver. Quarterback Kyler Murray stayed on the field and threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Trey McBride, securing a lead for the Cardinals with a score of 20-13 and 9:48 left on the clock. The Seahawks, who had their field goal team on defense, struggled in the second half, managing only 38 yards on 12 plays and failing to gain traction against the Cardinals' defense. The Cardinals, with odds at (+130 ML), capitalized on the Seahawks' confusion to take the lead.

One of better trick plays I've seen in a while. Cardinals line up for FG. Kyler Murray runs back behind center. Kicker stays on field, wide left. Murray throws to back of end zone, where Trey McBride makes a great catch and stays in bounds. Cardinals, 20-13
Cardinals put their kicker and punter (holder) out there on 4th down, so Seattle had its FG team out there on defense. Kyler stays on the field and catches the Seahawks off guard for go-ahead TD https://t.co/MgI2r7ynEZ

Crazy TD there by the Cardinals. Matt Prater on the field appearing to line up for the FG, then sprints out as a WR and Kyler Murray finds Trey McBride in the end zone for an 8-yard TD. Cardinals lead the Seahawks 20-13 with 9:48 left to play. Wild.
What a call from the Cardinals! fake the field goal transition and get a DART from Kyler to take the lead!
Cardinals go up 20-13 with 9:48 left in the game on a fourth-down TD pass from Kyler Murray to Trey McBride.
Wow. Arizona lines up and quickly goes for it on fourth and 3 and Murray hits McBride for a TD. Carroll has arms wide seeming to wonder what happened.
Arizona with two first downs to start fourth quarter and now have it first down at the Seattle 25.
End of third quarter Seattle 13, Arizona 13
Seahawks go three and out and have just 38 yards on 12 plays in second half. Arizona gonna get the ball in good field position here likely.
Seahawks Arizona game set for Sunday. https://t.co/VwsKQzvgvw
