Arizona Cardinals 32, Seattle Seahawks 20
The Arizona Cardinals (6-3) got off to a slow start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks (3-6), but they played great in the second half and got the win. The Cardinals defense let the Cardinals build a 14-0 lead early in the game and they finished the first half with 17 points. They did not do a good job in that first half, but they made some good adjustments at halftime and held them to 3 second half points. The defense gave up way too many yards in this one. Seahawks’ running back Justin Forsett put them on the board early and finished the game with 123 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Seahawks’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw for 315 yards and a touchdown on 26/52 attempts. They let receiver T.J. The Cardinals defense did a much better job on Hasselbeck late in the game, as they intercepted him twice to help seal the victory. Antrel Rolle and Adrian Wilson were the Cardinals players who got the interceptions.
The Cardinals offense did not play very well in the first half, but they outscored the Seahawks 21-3 in the second. Kurt Warner led the way for the Cardinals once again. Everyone talks about Brett Favre and how great he is playing for a 40-year old. Well Warner is 38 and has been playing great for the Cardinals. He had two touchdowns and no interceptions, while throwing 340 yards on 29/38 pass attempts. He got a lot of help from the running game too, as Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower combined for 122 yards on 26 carries. Wells ran it in for two touchdowns while also adding two catches for 32 yards. It was a very good game for the rookie. Warner and Larry Fitzgerald pretty much sealed the win when they connected on 18-yard touchdown pass with 6:11, but the defense has to be credited too for shutting down Hasselbeck and Hawks’ offense in the second half.
