Seattle Seahawks 14 Arizona Cardinals 3 Halftime

Arizona Cardinals losing game of field position and big plays to go into halftime with a deficit

The Arizona Cardinals can’t run the ball.  They can’t pass the ball and now the defense has taken the night off.  That is a recipe for another loss.  The Cardinals are well on their way to one.  The Seattle Seahawks are halfway to a probably NFC West title next week at home as they lead 14-3 at halftime.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is running wild.  He has two runs for 77 yards.  He also scrambled to his right to find a wide open tight end in Luke Willson for an 80-yard pass and catch for a touchdown.  The big plays and the quarterback scrambles are killing them.

The Cardinals offensive line is also not doing its job.  Guard Ted Larsen set the Cardinals back five yards and a false start on a third and goal.  They allowed former Cardinals defensive end O’Brien Schofield to come right through the line and sack Cardinals quarterback Ryan Lindley hard,

Not much is going in the Cardinals favor.  The only offense was a Chandler Catanzaro field goal after failing to convert on a third and goal from the eight-yard-line.  Again it is going to take touchdowns and not field goals at this point.  The field goal did give the Cardinals a brief 3-0 lead but right now all the Cardinals are doing is proving all the national media and NFL fans outside of Arizona correct.  They are smiling from coast to coast right now.
