Seahawks star kicker looking to rebound after tough Week 8
Seahawks kicker Jason Myers did not convert all of his field goals or extra point attempts in Week 8 and will look to right the ship in Week 9.
Seattle Seahawks former top scorer Jason Myers faced an underwhelming performance during the team's recent 34-17 defeat to the Chicago Bears. The kicker managed to score just three points, converting only one out of two field-goal attempts. One successful field goal came early in the second quarter, narrowing the gap to 7-3 against Chicago's early 7-0 lead.
However, Myers' day ended on a low note as he missed an extra-point attempt and had a blocked 33-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter. These missed opportunities prevented the Seahawks from closing the gap on the Bears' lead. Myers will aim to bounce back when Seattle takes on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. The matchup provides an opportunity for Myers to regain his form, especially if the Seahawks' offense can sustain drives.
Arizona previously faced Myers once this season, where he converted his lone field goal attempt and went 4-4 on extra points in Week 2. However, quarterback Sam Darnold's absence and Drew Lock's expected starting role could pose challenges for offensive consistency. If Seattle struggles with sustained drives, Myers might face more field-goal opportunities.
A stronger performance will offer a much-needed boost for the team following his disappointing Week 8 showing.
