The Cardinals (4-9) haven’t had a ton of success this season, but they are coming off of a 38-24 victory at home over the Browns. Kyler Murray completed 19 of 25 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Kenyan Drake was the real MVP of the game with one of the best performances of his career. Drake totaled 137 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries. Damiere Byrd led the team with eight catches for 86 yards.
Defensively, can Arizona contain Russell Wilson and slow down a red-hot rushing attack? Jordan Hicks had ten tackles in last weekend’s win and has 130 tackles on the season, fifth-best in the NFL. Chandler Jones had five tackles and one sack to bring his total to 15 sacks this year, second-most in the league.
Seattle’s offense has been the key to its success this season. The Seahawks are currently ranked fourth in total offense with an average of 387.1 YPG and third in rushing at 141.7 YPG. Russell Wilson was nearly perfect in a 30-24 victory over the Panthers in Carolina. Wilson completed 20 of 26 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns. Chris Carson may be the most underappreciated running back in the league. Last week, he rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns, his sixth game over 100 yards to bring his total to 1,190 with two games left. Wilson’s favorite target Tyler Lockett has the speed to burn defenders and proved that with eight catches for 120 yards and one touchdown.
While the Seahawks offense is in the top 10 in every major statistic, the defense is just the opposite. The unit is ranked 21st in points allowed (24.6), 27th in yards allowed (378.3), and 29th in passing yards allowed (271.0) Last weekend, the secondary had an impressive game with three interceptions. Bobby Wagner led the team with 10 tackles and one pick. He is ranked second in the NFL with 139 stops on the year. K.J. Wright chipped in four tackles and two interceptions in the win.
