at Seattle Seahawks

It will be Wilson versus Murray Act II as the Cards travel to Seattle to play one of the best teams in the NFC. While the Seahawks have absolutely no defense even with safety Jamal Adams in town, their offense plays so well they often outduel opponents. Especially with quarterback Russell Wilson playing at an MVP level.

The Cardinals defense was abysmal in the first half of the first game between these two franchises, allowing 377 yards in the first half alone. However, they eventually got their act together, allowing just 7 points over the final 40 minutes of the game (including overtime).

Their defense also came to life in the sack/turnover department, sacking Wilson twice in overtime while picking him off three times. The Cardinals also historically play the Seahawks well in Seattle, so that’s always a plus.

Maybe the Cardinals have Wilson’s number? But then again, this is Russell Wilson we’re talking about. It’s also safe to say the Seahawks outplayed the Cardinals in the first meeting, so this one will be an interesting matchup.
