5 takeaways from Seattle’s 41-35 loss to the Cowboys

After a surprisingly shaky start to the season, Seattle’s Pro Bowl kicker rounded back into form. Jason Myers had seemingly returned to his usual, consistent self, giving the 12th Man ease of mind at one of the most important positions. His best game was against the Commanders, when he nailed five field goals, including the game winner.

But since then, it’s been rather shaky. Myers made his first three against the Rams, but missed the game-winner in a 17-16 loss. He then missed a 53-yard attempt at the end of the first half last week. Tonight, he missed from 42-yards out.

Ultimately, in a six-point loss, having Myers’ extra three points likely means its a 41-38 defeat instead of 41-35. And given the aforementioned struggles on fourth down late, the Seahawks probably wouldn’t have been able to get to a position for game-tying attempt anyways.

But this is now three straight weeks Myers has missed a field goal. He missed all of three last year. That number is now up to seven for 2023.
