Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - Running back Ryan Williams and the rest of the Arizona Cardinals can breath a sigh of relief.
The Cardinals held on for a 20-18 win Sunday at Gillette Stadium after New England kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42-yard field goal with one second remaining.
Looking to run off more of the clock before punting the ball back to the Patriots, linebacker Brandon Spikes forced a Williams fumble that was recovered by Vince Wilfork at the Arizona 30-yard line with 61 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
On second down, Danny Woodhead ran for a touchdown, but the score was nullified by a holding penalty on Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots eventually moved the ball to the 24, and Gostkowski, who had been 4-for-4 to that point, including a pair of 50-plus yard kicks, pushed his attempt wide left.
