          SEATTLE -- The Arizona Cardinals are on the clock.

          The Cardinals secured the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL draft after losing to the Seattle Seahawks, 27-24, on Sunday at CenturyLink Field to end their season 3-13.

          Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski kicked the 33-yard. game-winning field goal as time expired.

          They'll have the top pick in the draft for the first time since 1958.

          With Arizona the only three-win team heading into the weekend, the San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets and Oakland Raiders were in a three-team race for the second spot, which was determined by strength of schedule. The 49ers will pick second based on their .504 strength of schedule, with the Jets (.506) and Raiders (.545) picking third and fourth.
