Seattle and Arizona were locked in a defensive battle all game long, but the Seahawks managed to take a 9-3 lead into halftime. Seattle finally scored a touchdown in the third quarter, but their defense stayed dominant as they handed the Cardinals only their second loss of the season.
Turning Point:
The Seahawks finally scored the game's first touchdown with 52 seconds left in the third quarter when Russell Wilson completed a 20 yard pass to Cooper Helfet. That created a lead that was simply too big for the Cardinals overcome.
Key Stat:
Arizona only had three third-down conversations on the day, showing how ineffective they were at moving the ball and extending drives.
Seattle MVP:
Wilson was his usual, efficient self, completing 17/22 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 73 yards on 10 carries.
Arizona MVP:
Arizona's offense struggled, but their defense did play all game. DE Calais Campbell stepped up in particular, recording five tackles and three sacks on the day.
What’s Next?
Seattle will host rival San Francisco on Thanksgiving night, while Arizona will try and rebound in Atlanta against the Falcons next weekend.
