A year ago Palmer was a spectator and watched the Cardinals crumble down the stretch after he was lost to a season-ending knee injury. Otherwise, this game would have been a blowout or the final score would have looked like this: 39-18.

The Cardinals added a pair of long touchdown passes from Palmer to Floyd. The remaining schedule is no easy path, though, beginning with a home game next Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, who were undefeated going into their Monday night game against Houston. The Seahawks had three defensive penalties on third downs that kept drives alive for Arizona. Seattle has taken one of the most prolific receiving tight ends from one of the league’s most precisely-timed offenses and plugged him into an offense that is not only run-oriented, but relies a great deal on the quarterback’s improvisation.
“It hurts us when they’re not letting us play and calling little ticky-tack fouls”, Thomas said. – Larry Fitzgerald had nine catches for 123 yards, Michael Floyd had seven catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns. With 12:52 left in the second quarter, the Cardinals took a 3-0 lead.
Carson Palmer passed for 363 yards and three touchdowns to lead the visiting Arizona Cardinals to a 39-32 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, who now face an uphill task in trying to reach the playoffs for the fourth straight season. That was Wilson’s fourth fumble of the 2015 season. However, four of the offensive penalties that set Seattle back came on running plays.
That was the same drive as the Brown pass reception Palmer alluded to.
Kansas City trounced Denver on the strength of five interceptions and five field goals and two touchdowns by Charcandrick West, including an 80-yard catch from Alex Smith. That was Richardson’s longest reception of the year and also it was his only reception of the year up to that point.
Catanzaro sent the game into halftime with a 43 yard field that winded from left to right and then finally through the uprights.
I wanted the Cardinals to win this game because it was something they needed to do to quiet the naysayers and prove to the NFL that they weren’t 6-2 because they put up 40 points on bad teams week after week, they were 6-2 because they played football, and they played it well.
Stanton’s not new to the celebration game, either.
He sent out a tweet that suggesting Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson “pull your head out of your…”
The Seahawks early in the fourth quarter caught a break. And then on accident, forced the quarterback to fumble at the ARZ 10 yard line with the ball rolling back to the ARZ where outside linebacker K.J. He struggles to get the ball out on time, and he’s quick to leave the pocket, a fact that my colleague Pete Prisco has mentioned once or twice. The first resulted in a Seattle recovery at the three-yard line, and the second one turned into a Seahawks touchdown.
Detroit (2-7) had stopped Green Bay on a 2-point conversion attempt after Aaron Rodgers hit Justin Perillo for an 11-yard touchdown pass on the previous drive. This time, turning things around midseason is proving impossibly hard for the Seattle Seahawks-who have blown countless chances to get back on track in 2015. Graham caught three for 41 yards, but couldn’t hang on to a ball in the end zone that should have been a touchdown. Up to this point in the season, he had been untouchable it seemed, making almost every throw and throwing touchdowns every other series (exaggeration…but you get my point).

The Cardinals managed to run four plays on their next possession before facing another third down in which Wright played the bat out of hell, bursting through to force another fumble that Bobby Wagner scooped up in stride and ran 22 yards for another TD.
