The Seattle Seahawks dropped their Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals and suffered a number of new injuries in the game. With health already a concern, the reserves were called up to back up the inactive starters.
Regardless, Seattle wasn’t able to find a way to get it done and inked its fourth loss of the regular season.
“We had a really difficult day, obviously,” coach Pete Carroll said postgame. “Boy, nothing worked out the way we wanted it to, other than the first couple of drives. After that, we just weren’t able to do enough to have a chance to win the game. It didn’t matter, kind of, what phase we were in. We just weren’t good enough today.”
The Seahawks had made a number of adjustments prior to the contest but fell short in nearly every facet of the game. Carroll believes it wasn’t a lack of preparedness.
“We were ready to play, and jacked up and all that, and it turns out like that,” Carroll continued. “It’s just really a surprise. We could talk about this, and you guys are going to ask your questions and stuff, but really, our focus is gone on that game, because it wasn’t going to be on this game after we got in this locker room anyway with the game coming up next week.”
Here’s a look at the snap counts and playtime percentages from the Seahawks Week 16 loss to the Cardinals.
