The Arizona Cardinals head to Seattle to take on the NFC West-leading Seahawks. To prepare for this game, we get some insight about the team from the perspective of Seahawks Wire managing editor Liz Matthews.

Here is what she had to say.

Close games seem to be the theme for the Seahawks (10-1 in games decided by one score). How is it they beat the odds to win so many?

The is only one obvious answer to this question and it’s quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson is having a magical season, regardless of whether or not he eventually takes home the MVP award. In matchups when Seattle’s defense has struggled, Wilson has led the offense down the field for many fourth-quarter wins. While Seahawks fans might not be comfortable with the close contests, Pete Carroll believes they are learning opportunities for his squad.
