Arizona Cardinals vs Seattle Seahawks: Everything you need to know for Week 18
Happy Thursday one and all.
The Arizona Cardinals are looking to go 4-4 with Kyler Murray under center.
In their three wins to get them to 3-4 right now, they have beat teams with a combined 27-21 overall record.
That is an impressive feat when you consider they are a combined 2-13 the last two seasons without Murray and this season they looked like they were going to be an epically awful team.
That honor has gone to the Carolina Panthers, who have completely screwed the pooch with their decisions and now you have to wonder who wants that job?
However, this week the Arizona Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks for their final game of the season, while the Seahawks are looking to make the playoffs.
The Seahawks kind of blew their chance last week, losing at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but since November, they have been a really tough team to follow.
Since November 5th, the Seahawks are 3-6, averaging 19.4 points per game, giving up 27.1 points per game, giving up 392 yards per game, while they are only gaining 313 yards per game.
More than anything, their top ranked run defense has fallen on hard times, as they are 30th in yards allowed and 25th in yards per attempt. When they met earlier this year, those numbers were fifth and first respectively.
So, we know what the Cardinals will want to do.
Can they do it against a team that will be selling out to stop it?

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.

The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
