Seahawks Face Cardinals in NFC West Showdown

The Seattle Seahawks face a significant challenge as they host the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals, aiming to secure a share of the division lead after snapping a six-game losing streak against the 49ers. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald emphasized a playoff mindset for his team, which is rejuvenated following a recent victory. The Cardinals, on a four-game winning streak, are led by dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray, who has shown impressive efficiency and is a key player to watch. Murray's ability to extend plays and contribute both through the air and on the ground presents a formidable challenge for the Seahawks' defense. Running back James Conner also plays a crucial role in Arizona's rushing attack, which ranks fifth in the NFL. Both teams are poised for a competitive matchup as they strive for dominance in the NFC West.
