Kyler Murray comes up short on panic pick-6 play against Seahawks image

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had been enjoying a lot of hype for his play this season. He hadn't faced pressure like he has today against the Seattle Seahawks, though. Murray just came up pure cheeks in a high-leverage situation in the third quarter.

It started with an incredible effort play by cornerback Devon Witherspoon, who peeled off his man and then pressured Murray all the way to the sideline. In a panic, Murray threw the ball in the general direction of Seattle's end zone. Coby Bryant did the rest. Watch.

That's a huge swing play, resulting in a 10-point lead for Seattle after Jason Myers missed the extra point attempt.

From a broader perspective, the home crowd is louder than it's been in a long time for a big game and the Seahawks defense looks like it's finally respectable again. Everyone in the NFC except the Detroit Lions are officially on notice.
