GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Sam Darnold is playing like a franchise quarterback. And Jaxon Smith-Njigba is playing like one of the best receivers in football. On a night in which the Seahawks allowed a blowout to turn into a nailbiter, the Darnold-to-Smith-Njigba helped them escape State Farm Stadium with a 23-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals on a 52-yard Jason Myers field goal as time expired.
CJ Daniels made a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab and Rueben Bain Jr. had an interception on a thrice-deflected pass in the fourth quarter for the Hurricanes, who outgained Notre Dame 324 yards to 314. Malachi Toney had a touchdown catch and CharMar Brown added a TD run for Miami. CJ Carr, in his first start for Notre Dame, finished 19 of 30 for 221 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception -- plus a rushing score with 3:21 left
