Lynch, the former Cal running back who is the key to the ground game in Seattle, might want to remind Hendrickson that football is a four-quarter game, not a four-drive game.

There is still an obstacle standing in front of the Arizona Cardinals.
As it stands now, Seattle (4-5) trails the Cardinals, who have a hard schedule in the final two months with games against Cincinnati, Green Bay and return engagements with Seattle and St. Louis still on the docket.
Floyd was back causing headaches for Seattle again on Sunday with two touchdown receptions in the first half as the Cardinals built a 19-0 lead.
He had been out from late January until Sunday following his second reconstructive knee surgery in three years.
“In a game that’s tight we need every play to hang with it”, Carroll said. We take a lot of care there, it is such a big factor in the game.
“Just on to the next, but it shows that we’re here and we mean business”, Arizona safety Deone Bucannon said.
“Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll exercised restraint when talking about penalties as he addressed the media Monday afternoon at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center”. The Cardinals haven’t been successful enough against Seattle in recent years to proclaim the matchup as a rivalry.
Seattle’s task now is to make that game meaningful, which might require an even greater rally than the one it nearly pulled off Sunday.
Hey, if you’ve only thrown four passes all year, you’ve got to get a workout in somehow, right?
As for the Cardinals, Palmer seems to be a legit MVP candidate as he continues to guide his team toward the NFC West crown, a possibility which got even likelier after he dismantled the Legion of Boom on Sunday. Once we started moving they started to blitz more.
“Going through those guys” was easier than it’s been before, and maybe this is the year Arians’s team can take their momentum all the way. It was going to be a hit or miss play.
The Cardinals dropped 39 points on the Seahawks, the most ever against the franchise. But honestly, the best part to is the reaction to Stanton’s dance.
What might have been the most improbable comeback in Seattle Seahawks history turned instead into one of the team’s bitterest of defeats.
“There are things that he’s got to do better”, Carroll said of Wilson, who has 10 touchdowns and seven picks this season.
“(Brown) is a starter on most teams”, Arians said. I think they had five first downs by penalty in the game and that’s too many.
Then on 3rd and 4 from the SEA 48, bad tackling and balance along the left sideline aided Ellington’s 48 yard touchdown run. The second came against a zone when Richard Sherman was caught nosing forward, thinking he’d sniffed out an underneath route only to leave Floyd open on the back end.
The Seahawks offensive line has been a huge problem this season, but Wilson hasn’t helped much. Seattle didn’t give up a sack in the 13-12 win over Dallas, the first time this season Wilson was not sacked.
Keeping Wilson clean against the Cardinals will be tough.
The game took on a different feel than last season’s 19-3 loss to Seattle.
The Titans (2-7) suffered their 10th straight home loss in the first home game under interim coach Mike Mularkey. Gostkowski, the NFL’s leading scorer the last three seasons, sent his winning kick soaring through the uprights. The Seahawks are tied for last in the National Football League with just three interceptions. For Carson Palmer, that “was a statement drive”. We keep you from getting yards. That’s the biggest question, I think, that comes up now.

Really frustrated by that game yesterday. “We don’t lack any confidence, for sure, but it reassures it when you go there and win”. (Drew Stanton is destined to be a folk hero in Arizona forever after this little display.) They have a three-game lead in the division with seven games to play, and they have the inside track for a first-round playoff bye.
