The Seahawks played well near the end of the first half, bringing the score to within three points with under 40 seconds remaining. They managed to stop the Cardinals on the next drive. After the Cardinals' three and out the Seahawks had 8 seconds left to go.
In the second half, the Seahawks tenacity served them well, giving them the lead -- until Mack Strong fumbled the ball and the momentum shifted in favor of the Cardinals.
During the Seahawks' last drive, Arizona managed to sack Hasselbeck for a big loss. On 4th and 20 the Seahawks managed to come within inches, or two feet, depending on your viewpoint for making a first down. After a booth review the call on the field stood. After a couple of knees, the game was over, 27-21 Arizona.
The Seahawks fall to 8-5, and the Cardinals rise to 4-9.
Penalties and poor execution were the story of this game, and the Seahawks deserved this defeat. Maybe next week they'll learn to hold onto the ball, to block, and to make tackles.
We can only hope.
