Meanwhile, despite two lost fumbles and an interception, Palmer was as effective as any quarterback has ever been against the once-feared Legion of Boom.
Bobby Wagner sprinted into the end zone and CenturyLink Field shook.
“All year, we’ve kind of been the team that’s going to blow a team out, or if it’s close, we lose it”, running back Chris Johnson said.
But after Seattle punted and the game entered the fourth quarter, the Seahawks’ defense did it again. “Cliff Avril just came roaring off the ball tonight”, Carroll said.
But the Cardinals had jumped out to enough of a lead in the first half that even 19 unanswered points by Seattle in the second half wasn’t enough to knock off Arizona.
After Arizona lost fumbles on back-to-back drives in the fourth quarter, both of them leading to touchdowns and erasing the Cardinals’ once-solid lead, Carson Palmer could be forgiven for feeling discouraged.
Aside from a few pressure on Palmer, you couldn’t tell by the way the Seahawks played up front.
Seattle would get a quick field goal and attempt an onside kick that Arizona recovered to dash any hopes at a magical comeback the likes of the NFC Championship game. Palmer tried to force a touchdown pass to Floyd in the first quarter, but Floyd was essentially boxed out by two Seattle defensive backs, including Earl Thomas, who intercepted Palmer in the end zone.

Wilson also accounted for a safety. The Seahawks finished with 14 penalties for 131 yards, to go with nine for 71 yards by the Cardinals. The first came on a 27-yard pass to the deep right corner.

Facing a third and three and seemingly following the same run-run-pass cadence they’d kept the last two drives, Arizona line up in a three-wide shotgun formation with Andre Ellington in the backfield with Palmer.
Floyd was removed from Sunday’s game against the Seahawks in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals’ official site reports. Iupati was pulling on the play and lowered his head and he collided with Seattle’s Kam Chancellor. There, a CT scan and an MRI came back “normal.” He was let go from the hospital Sunday night & is predicted to fly back home with the team.
NOTES: Seattle RB Marshawn Lynch was active for the game.
