Seahawks’ Jason Myers Drills 52-Yard Game-Winner After Smelling Salts on Thursday Night

The viral moment highlights the NFL policy permitting player use of smelling salts, not club distribution.

Overview

  • Myers’ kick as time expired lifted Seattle over Arizona 23-20, moving the Seahawks to 3-1 and dropping the Cardinals to 2-2.
  • Amazon’s broadcast showed Myers inhaling smelling salts moments before the attempt, and the clip spread widely on social media.
  • League guidance this season restricts teams from supplying smelling salts but allows players to use their own, a stance the NFLPA has clarified.
  • Myers finished 3-for-4 after an earlier miss, capping a short setup drive that began at the Seattle 40 following a short Arizona kickoff.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald expressed full confidence in Myers postgame, calling the veteran composed in pressure situations.
