Can the Seattle Seahawks take over first place in the NFC West with a win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12?
The Seattle Seahawks led the NFC West early in the season. Then they fell to last place after losing five of six games from Weeks 4-9. Now they can regain control of the divisionwith Arizona . Still, it has two games against the Cardinals in three weeks. A sweep of those contests would be the best-case scenario for the Seahawks.
Nonetheless, Arizona will be well rested making the annual trip to Lumen Field and carrying one of the most balanced offenses in the league with Kyler Murray at the wheel. The electric quarterback only has thrown three interceptions all season and he's averaging 8.1 yards per carry as a runner, creating headaches for opposing defenses who also have to account for bruising back James Conner and dynamic first-round receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. among other weapons.
With first place in the division up for grabs, this should be a back-and-forth affair with a fair number of points and opportunistic defenses likely having an impact with a critical turnover or two that ultimately will decide the game. Riding a wave of momentum after leading his team to a clutch win in Santa Clara, Geno Smith playing at home with a full arsenal of weapons at his disposal against a mediocre pass rush will be the difference.
