The Cardinals' loss to the Rams highlights familiar problems plaguing the Seahawks.
The best summation of the Arizona Cardinals’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night came courtesy of NFL personality and podcast host Gregg Rosenthal. This game meant a lot more to the Seattle Seahawks than the Cardinals, who are already out of the playoffs. While the ending itself was incredibly Seahawky, so was the Cardinals performance, and having to live precariously through Arizona was like watching every Seahawks problem unfold in one three-hour package.
The Cardinals were dominant in the box score and should’ve comfortably won against the Rams. They were also 1-of-4 in the red zone and came away with 0 points twice. A failed 4th and 1 handoff to James Conner felt oddly familiar. Seattle’s red zone offense is 20th in the NFL, and somehow that’s the best percentage in the NFC West this season. We’ve seen the Seahawks cost themselves repeatedly in the red zone for the entirety of the Geno Smith era, including in their own loss to the Rams.

Maybe it wouldn’t have mattered given the flow of the game, but chasing a tying field goal vs. tying touchdown may or may not have impacted how the Cardinals would’ve approached the remainder of the game. The Seahawks have had special teams woes all season, not the least of which includes Jason Myers having two extra points blocked (one of which was an important one against the Rams) and a blocked field goal for a touchdown in a loss against the New York Giants. The Cardinals committed nine accepted penalties for 62 yards, including multiple offensive line infractions pre- and post-snap. The Seahawks have been penalty machines all season, especially at home. They’re 3rd in accepted flags and numero uno at home, which is completely unacceptabl
