58-0. That was the score the last time these two teams played each other. However, this Cardinals’ team has vastly improved, especially on the defensive side. This team is allowing 351 yards of total offense, including a very impressive 91 rushing yards per game. Their run defense will be put to the test today as they face the duel running threat of quarterback Russell Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch.
Carson Palmer has been a vast improvement at the quarterback position for the Cardinals, but he has been throwing a lot of bad passes that seem to always find members of the other team. Over the past four games, Palmer has thrown nine interceptions. This Seattle defense is tough enough, but if you give them easy interceptions this game can get out of hand. He will also need to release the ball quick while looking for his second and third options to throw to. Cornerback Richard Sherman has dominated Larry Fitzgerald when these two teams meet holding him to 87 yards over their three meetings.
The Seahawks will get on another test on the road to see if they get rid of the notion that they can only win at home. However, they have not done well in Arizona, losing two straight games there. However, that streak will end tonight with a fairly convincing win in Arizona. It won’t be a 58-0 win, but they should take card of business. The Seahawks are the overall better team and will show that tonight. The Cardinals have gotten better since last season, but they are still not ready to compete with Seattle. Seahawks vs. Cardinals- who you takin?
