Pete Carroll stands behind Seahawks kicker Stephen Hauschka: ‘I love him and he’s our guy’

Stephen Hauschka missing a game-winning field goal was among the many oddities of Sunday night's 6-6 tie with Arizona.

In the wake of the Seahawks’ bizarre 6-6 tie Sunday, much was made of Pete Carroll’s supportive comments of Stephen Hauschka after his missed 28-yard field goal with seven seconds left prevented Seattle from winning.

“I love him and he’s our guy,’’ Carroll said of Hauschka.

Many on social media noted the contrast between that and Arizona coach Bruce Arians comment regarding his kicker, Chandler Catanzaro, who missed a 24-yard field goal with 3:26 left.
