The Cardinals took advantage of the field position and scored three plays later.

Dickson also had a 54-yard punt returned 45 yards.

The Seahawks managed to hang on for a 27-24 win against the lowly Cardinals who lost 13 of their 16 games this season.

Australia's two other punters on teams in playoff contention on the final day of the regular season, Philadelphia Eagles' Cameron Johnston and the Pittsburgh Steelers' Jordan Berry, had nervous days.

The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles needed to beat the Washington Redskins and hope the Chicago Bears defeat the Minnesota Vikings.

The stars aligned, with the Eagles crushing the Redskins 24-0 and the Bears outplaying the Vikings 24-10.

The Eagles take on the Bears next weekend.

The Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 16-13, but their path became unlikely when the Baltimore Ravens outlasted the Cleveland Browns 26-24.

Pittsburgh's only hope was the unlikely prospect of Indianapolis and Tennessee ending in a tie, their hopes coming to an end as the Colts advanced with a 33-17 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium.
