The Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks tried to football Sunday night. They failed, and Twitter came through as always with the perfect reactions.
The walking dead was truly brutal on Sunday night. After 3+ hours of mind-bending violence, atrocities committed against everything we know to be good in this world and just overall painful television, the final result was everyone turning off their TVs in a state of numbness.
Oh, and AMC’s The Walking Dead was on too.
In an absolutely horrendous Sunday Night Football game, the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks tied 6-6 in overtime after both team’s kickers choked on chip shots from inside of 30 yards. It’s no secret that NFL prime-time games have been unbearable this year, but this may have been the crown jewel of unintentional comedy.
Naturally, Twitter went up in flames about a game that everyone should’ve turned off hours ago, and that was only in response to Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro missed a potential game-winning kick from 24 yards out.
Once Seattle’s Steven Hauschka did the same thing from 28 yards out just a few minutes later, it’s amazing there was anything left of Twitter aside from ash and broken dreams.

According to NFL Research, this was the lowest scoring overtime game in NFL history to end in a tie. As we witnessed history in the worst way possible, there were plenty of quality tweets to be found.

I bet Robbie Gould would have hit the game winning 24 yard field goal.

Whatever vengeful football god we awakened Sunday night, hopefully we can appease it before the new batch of NFL games next weekend.
