Seattle Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril, coming off a dominant performance against the Atlanta Falcons, was no worse for the wear versus the Arizona Cardinals. He finished the game with 2.5 sacks, six quarterback hits, and two pass deflections. This was easily his best game of the season.
As I was going through the game tape preparing for a deeper dive into Earl Thomas’ performance (that will be released Wednesday), I stumbled across Avril’s sack in the 4th quarter with 3:13 left in regulation and decided it deserved its own post.
