showing it can score points consistently each week, they're now starting to show they can be closers as well.
That finishing kick for Seattle began right after their biggest mistake of the day. Geno Smith was picked off by linebacker Zaven Collins, who returned the interception for a 30-yard touchdown that gave the Cardinals a 14-10 lead. Seattle converted three straight third downs on their first scoring drive. A 5-yard pass to Will Dissly on third-and-3. A 12-yard strike to Lockett on third-and-12. A 3-yard pickup by Walker on third-and-1, and a 9-yard touchdown pass to Lockett on third-and-6 gave the Seahawks a 17-14 lead.
Third downs in general may be one of the biggest differences from this year's team to the 2021 edition in Seattle. Last season, the Seahawks converted just 36.4 percent of the time on third downs, which ranked 27th in the NFL. This year, Seattle is converting 45.8 percent of the time on third downs, which is fifth-best in the league.
"We know that he’s going to come through, just give him a chance. What a bounce back," Carroll said of Smith. "What a fantastic finish to this game. I think we converted seven straight third downs to end the game, and that’s awesome."
