Hot Seahawks top Cardinals
Print Edition
The Seattle Seahawks continued their hot start to the season when they steamrolled divisional rivals Arizona Cardinals in a 34-22 road victory in their National Football League clash on Thursday.
The Seahawks remain in control of the NFC West, moving to 6-1 and top of the division, the first time the franchise has started a season so well, as both sides of the ball contributed in an impressive display at Glendale, Arizona.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson had two fumbles but completed 18 of 29 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns, while the Seahawks defense forced Cardinal quarterback Carson Palmer into two critical interceptions and sacked him seven times.
Both interceptions, one in the first quarter and one in the third, eventually led to Seattle touchdowns on the following drive and took Palmer’s season tally to 13 in seven games.
“We got off to a great start and scored some great touchdowns in the first 15 ... it doesn’t get much better than that,” Wilson told reporters.
Palmer finished with 30-45 for 258 yards with one TD and the two picks as the Cardinals dropped to 3-4.
