Five NFL teams made history together Sunday by winning their respective games with field goals as time expired.
The Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns all relied on game-winning kicks to win in Week 10.
Quarterbacks Kyler Murray, C.J. Stroud, Jared Goff, Geno Smith and Deshaun Watson deserve the credit for leading their teams down the field on game-winning drives. But kickers Matt Prater, Matt Ammendola, Riley Patterson, Jason Myers and Dustin Hopkins deserve the glory for securing their team’s victories in walk-off fashion.
The Browns and Cardinals were trailing before their game-winning kicks, while the Seahawks, Texans and Lions were tied in the final seconds. The previous high for NFL games to end with a field goal on a single day was three.
Cardinals 25, Falcons 23
Kyler Murray did not disappoint in his first game, following 11 months of recovering from ACL surgery.

On third-and-10, Murray scrambled for 68.9 yards and reached a top speed of 20.17 mph on a 13-yard gain that kept the Cardinals’ game-winning drive alive, according to Next Gen Stats. He also completed a 33-yard pass to tight end Trey McBride to set up Matt Prater’s 23-yard kick to win it.
The Cardinals broke a six-game skid, and Murray’s return could shake up the 2024 NFL draft order after being favorites to land the No. 1 pick for the first half of the season.
Texans 30, Bengals 27
C.J. Stroud was already a lock for rookie of the year, but this win put him in the MVP conversation.
Stroud led his second game-winning drive in as many weeks, navigating the Texans’ charge with 55-yard drive in 90 seconds, ending with a 38-yard kick by Matt Ammendola, who just joined the team earlier in the week.
Stroud, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NFL draft and new coach DeMeco Ryans have led the Texans to their first five-win season since 2019, and they have a real shot at reaching the postseason.
Lions 41, Chargers 38
The Lions were already one of the best teams in the NFC this season, but this win elevated them into the Super Bowl conversation.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a 41-yard completion to speedster Kalif Raymond, and completed a 6-yard pass to rookie tight end Sam LaPorta on fourth-and-2 in the final minutes, as Detroit kept the ball away from Justin Herbert and the Chargers to set up Riley Patterson’s 41-yard field goal.
Dan Campbell and the Lions are second in the NFC standings between the Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) and San Francisco 49ers (6-3), and could make a push for home-field advantage in the playoffs in the second half of the season.
Seahawks 29, Commanders 26
The Seahawks and Commanders traded blows in the decisive fourth quarter, but Geno Smith got the final say.
Smith found receiver D.K. Metcalf twice on the final drive, including a 27-yard completion to set up Jason Myers’ 43-yard kick to win the game, after the Commanders tied it with 52 seconds remaining.
Smith threw for a career-high 369 yards with two touchdowns, leading a winning drive for the third time this season to keep the Seahawks at 6-3 and tied with the 49ers for the NFC West division lead.
Browns 33, Ravens 31
The most impressive field-goal win on Sunday came by the Browns for this reason: Cleveland trailed the entire game. The Browns never led – until the clock hit zero.
Deshaun Watson completed every pass in the second half in his first fourth-quarter comeback and game-winning drive as the Browns' $230 million starter, and Dustin Hopkins made a 40-yard field goal on the final play to win it. Cleveland luckily avoided disaster as Hopkins missed the extra-point kick after Greg Newsome II's 34-yard pick-six touchdown that made it 31-30 with 8:16 left in the game.
The Browns are 6-3 and certainly in the thick of things despite being third in the AFC North behind the Ravens (7-3) and the Steelers (6-3). They own the No. 6 playoff seed after 10 weeks.
