Seattle loses season opener at Arizona, 20-16. Aided by two pass interference penalties, Seattle drove to the Arizona 4-yard line in the final seconds. But rookie Russell Wilson threw three straight incompletions and the Cardinals held on. NFL replacement officials also mistakenly gave Seattle an extra timeout with 30 seconds left when, in fact, the team had none remaining.
