In a Defensive Affair in Seattle the Arizona Cardinals hang tough and eke out a 17-10 "W" after scoring 11 of that 17 in the final frame. The Seahawks Offense was at a stalemate for over three periods until they got going in the 4th and final frame. Look at these numbers the Offenses put up against two of the stingiest Defenses in the game:

QBs 

#AZCards Palmer 13/25 178 yds TD 4 INT
#12s Wilson 11/27 108 yds TD INT

Palmer and Wilson both struggled as the "Legion of Boom" picked off Palmer four times. Wilson had "Fright Night Light" type Numbers as the Seahawks through three NFL quarters had just 6 first downs...six!  

RBs

#BirdGang Mendenhall/Ellington 36 car 127 yds
#HawksNest206 Beast Mode/Wilson 20 car 103 yds

Both Running Games kept the chains moving somewhat as the Bird gang came in with the NFL's #1 Run D at just over 84 yards. If the Seahawks have an Achilles Heel on "D" its their Run D.

The Cardinals stay alive as they will get the 49ers in NFL Week 17 at Red Zone. They also need the 49ers to get beat Monday Night vs the Falcons and the Saints to get beat by the Buccaneers in NFL Week 17 to get a Wild Card Slot.

The Seahawks need to beat the Rams and they will be the #1 Seed in the NFC...they lose lookout as the two teams that could pass them are the Niners and Panthers (11-4) if the Niners win Monday Night vs the Falcons.

Note: Seahawks have no Percy Harvin or Sidney Rice and that Passing Game is suffering...Seahawks QB Russell Wilson 1st loss at home in career 12-1
