The Seattle Seahawks may not have played this weekend, but some separation in the NFC West was created for them. Despite losing to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, the Green Bay Packers did do the Hawks a favor by defeating the Arizona Cardinals.
With Seattle and San Francisco having played on Thursday, and the Los Angeles Rams on a bye week, the Cardinals were the only team in the division to take the field on Sunday. The latest installment for them was a road trip to Lambeau Field.
Unfortunately for the Red Birds, it was not a pleasant one. Arizona was dismantled by the Packers to the tune of 34-13, and it was not as competitive as even that score might suggest. The Packers built up a 24-0 lead in the first half, and although the Cards did manage to pull within 24-13, Green Bay scored 10 more points to officially put the game out of reach.
Kyler Murray completed 22-of-32 passes for 214 yards and a lone touchdown. His counterpart on the Packers, Jordan Love, had the exact same completions/attempts. However, Love tossed for 258 yards and four touchdowns, opposed to one interception.
The perplexing season for Arizona continues. Their only two wins of the season have come against NFC West opponents: San Francisco and Los Angeles. They are 0-4 against the rest of the league so far.
