Seahawks inactives: 4 starters inactive vs. Cardinals

Seattle will be without LT Duane Brown, DE Jadeveon Clowney, CB Shaquill Griffin and S Quandre Diggs.

The Arizona Cardinals will get to face a Seattle Seahawks team missing a few starters. Seattle released its list of seven inactive players for Week 16 and it includes four starters, including three on defense.

Here is the list:

WR John Ursua
DE Jadeveon Clowney
CB Shaquill Griffin
LT Duane Brown
G Phil Haynes
TE Tyrone Swoopes
S Quandre Diggs

They will be without their No. 1 corner, their best safety and their most disruptive pass rusher on defense. With no Brown, they are missing their starting left tackle.

George Fant should get the start and the assignment to block Cardinals outside linebacker Chandler Jones, who has 15 sacks this season.

With no Griffin, the Seahawks will have to assign someone else to cover Christian Kirk.

Potential milestones for Cardinals in Week 16 vs. Seahawks

Kyler Murray, Larry Fitzgerald, Chandler Jones and Kenyan Drake can unlock certain achievements in their careers on Sunday.

The Arizona Cardinals seek to steal a win on the road Sunday afternoon against the Seattle Seahawks. It would be their first NFC West win all season and would give them their eighth win in Seattle since realignment, which would be twice the number of wins as the team with the next-most wins there.

Some milestones are in play for the Cardinals.

Kyler Murray

With a win, he would set the franchise rookie record for wins in a season. He is tied with Jake Plummer with four.

With two rushing touchdowns, he would tie the franchise record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a season. Jim Hart had six in 1968.

With 221 passing yards, he will reach 3,500 on the season. He would become only the sixth quarterback in NFL history with 3,500 passing yards and 500 rushing yards in a season. With 300 passing yards, he would join Andrew Luck as the only quarterback in NFL history to have six 300-yard passing games as a rookie.

5 keys to victory for Cardinals against the Seahawks

They have to limit the run game and run the ball. And they can’t let Russell Wilson have the ball at the end of the game.

The Arizona Cardinals ended their six-game losing streak a week ago against the Cleveland Browns. Despite playing the 11-3 Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week 16, they would like to extend their winning streak.

How can they do that?

Here are the keys to the game.

Run the football successfully

The Cardinals have had their greatest offensive success this season when they have had balance between the run and the pass. Kenyan Drake is coming off his best game this season and the Seahawks are not a great team against the run. They allow 4.6 yards per attempt, 26th in the league. Whether it is Drake, Kyler Murray or David Johnson, they need to run the ball.

Russell Wilson has having a fantastic year and gets to face the Cardinals’ porous pass defense that is last in passing yards allowed, passer rating allowed and completion percentage allowed.

The Cardinals have run the ball effectively most of the season and hope to continue to do so. It is key to their offensive success. Seattle is 27th in yards per carry allowed.

Seattle’s defense is third in takeaways. The Cardinals will have to take care of the ball. Kyler Murray has thrown five picks in the last three games.

What will the outcome be? All three panelists predict a Seahawks win.

Behind enemy lines: Cardinals-Seahawks Q&A preview for Week 16

Seahawks Wire managing editor Liz Matthews answers a few questions.

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.

Dueling picks for Cardinals-Seahawks in Week 16

Both Cards Wire and Seahawks Wire predict the result of the game.

The Arizona Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon on the road. It is a tough matchup against the No. 1 team in the NFC right now. The Cardinals already played Seattle once this season, getting blown out 27-10.

This time, the Seahawks will be down multiple starters on defense and might be without their left tackle.

How will this game play out?

Seahawks Wire managing editor Liz Matthews and I each give our predictions for the game,

Seahawks Wire: Seahawks 21, Cardinals 17

The Seahawks will likely give fans a late Christmas present with a win.

Cards Wire: Seahawks 27, Cardinals 23

This game goes down to the wire like so many between these two teams in Seattle. The Cardinals run the ball with success and Kyler Murray leads the team to a lead late in the game, but Russell Wilson has enough time to pick apart Arizona’s secondary and gets the game-winning TD.

Cardinals vs. Seahawks ultimate Week 16 preview

The Arizona Cardinals take on their division rival Seattle Seahawks in this exciting week 16 matchup.

When the NFL schedules are released in April, the annual trip to CenturyLink Field is always circled by Cardinals fans. The rivalry between the Cardinals and the Seahawks has produced some very memorable games over the past few years. Sunday will mark the second matchup between Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson, two of the league’s more dynamic quarterbacks.

Before we dive into Sunday’s matchup, here were some of the previous games at CenturyLink Field:

2018: The Cardinals lose on a last-second field goal by Sebastian Janikowski after a near-comeback by quarterback Josh Rosen.

2017: Blair Walsh misses a potential game-winning field goal as the Drew Stanton-lead Cardinals upset Seattle in Bruce Arians’ final game with the team

2016: Quarterback Carson Palmer and David Johnson put on an offensive clinic as the Cardinals win on a last-second Chandler Catanzaro field goal.

2015: The Cardinals and MVP candidate Carson Palmer get a statement victory on Sunday Night Football against the defending NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks.

2014″ The Cardinals are unable to find any offensive momentum and lose 19-3 in disappointing fashion.

2013: In a game dominated by defense, Carson Palmer finds Michael Floyd on a long pass down the sideline to beat Seattle and keep their playoff hopes alive.

2012: The Cardinals suffer arguably their worse loss in team history, losing 58-0.

So, aside from two outings, the Cardinals and Seahawks games have always been very fun.

At this point in the season, there are fans who want the team to lose in favor of a higher draft pick. They’ve given up on the season and are already thinking about their favorite college player. In a game like this, fans should want to see a Cardinals victory, for a signature win against the No. 1 seed of the NFC would go a long way in the direction of the franchise. It could make the Cardinals a more attractive destination for free agents, which would improve the team quicker than any draft pick would. All in all, beating Seattle would be very beneficial to the outside view of the Cardinals.

With that said, let’s preview this game.

Seahawks DT Al Woods suspended 4 games for PEDs

His suspension begins this weekend and will miss the game against the Cardinals.

The Seattle Seahawks have lost one of their rotational defensive lineman for the next month. The league announced that defensive tackle Al Woods has been suspended four games under the performance-enhancing substances policy.

The suspension takes effect immediately, so he will miss his team’s Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

He will not be eligible to play the final two games of the regular season and up to two playoff games the Seahawks are in.

He played in all 14 games so far this season, starting five times. He had 32 tackles, one sack and two fumble recoveries. He had two tackles in the Seahawks’ 27-10 win over the Cardinals in Week 4.
