1. Michael Floyd TD catch @ Seahawks

The Cardinals were faced with the tremendous task of prevailing against the future Super Bowl Champion Seahawks on their own turf. Seattle was favored by
8.5 points in that game. The Cardinals, however, held the lead for much of the game. The defenses dueled as the offenses struggled. In the final quarter , the Seahawks finally scored a touchdown, giving them a 10-9 lead.

The Cards didn’t falter. They pressed down the field. With just a little more than two minutes left, Palmer threw a pass to Michael Floyd, who was streaking down the left sideline.

Despite having little operating room and Byron Maxwell right on him , Floyd went up, juggled the ball a little, and came down
with the clean catch for the touchdown . The following 2-pt. conversion gave the guys in red and white a 17-10 lead that they never gave back.

It was another statement play by Floyd, and in the Cardinals crowning achievement in 2013, it was definitely the top play of the season.
