Hjalte Froholdt experienced a sense of déjà vu as he entered the huddle for the Cardinals' final drive on Sunday. Just days earlier, the team had driven downfield for a game-winning field goal, and they repeated the feat against Miami.
"Chad's been coming in and killing it, so it's good to rely on him in the end," Froholdt said. "Would love for them to not be that close again."
Ryland's field goal secured a 28-27 victory over the Dolphins, marking his second consecutive game-winning kick. Until that point, the Cardinals trailed throughout nearly 50 minutes of play.
"There's resiliency in that locker room," coach Jonathan Gannon stated. "They've been through some battles. It hasn't gone their way, but you keep doing the right things on a day-to-day basis and you are going to give yourself a chance to win, and that's what we're doing."
The Cardinals' fourth win this season equals their total from each of the previous two seasons. They achieved this despite injuries affecting key defensive players like Sean Murphy-Bunting and Roy Lopez.
This was also the third time this season that the Cardinals overcame a deficit in the final quarter to win—a record unmatched by any other NFL team.
Currently leading the NFC West, credit is given to both coaching staff and front office for fostering development and resilience within the team.
"(Gannon) will make you believe you can do anything," linebacker Kyzir White remarked on The Cardinals Locker Room Podcast. "He's a great leader."
While Gannon doesn't believe wins carry over week-to-week, he acknowledges confidence as contagious among players.
"Our guys know if we have the ball at the end of the game...we feel really good about operating and winning," Gannon explained. "It's fun to watch because I know they're connected...doing everything in their power to win."
Froholdt expressed confidence during their decisive drive: "This is time now," he noted regarding their mindset during possession.
Starting from their own 11-yard line with just over five minutes remaining, quarterback Kyler Murray led an impressive drive covering 73 yards over 13 plays.
"I just knew when we got a chance at end we were going go score," Murray said confidently after completing ten straight passes totaling 115 yards along with one touchdown during fourth-quarter action—his best performance since Week Two alongside standout performances by Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride who each surpassed receiving yard milestones respectively contributing towards victory
