Seattle Seahawks: 4 takeaways from 23-13 loss to Arizona
The Seattle Seahawks didn’t learn from history. After losing to a team with a quarterback at less than 100 percent last game, they did it again this week. The frustration is real here.
Although the Seattle Seahawks got a touchdown this week, their first in eight quarters, they still didn’t have enough it (or defense, for that matter) to take down the NFC West Division leaders, Arizona. The Cardinals even gave Seattle a fighting chance by missing two field goals and an extra point. In the end, Arizona executed when they needed to and won the game.
The Seattle Seahawks must be gluttons for punishment because they don’t learn from their history. Despite knowing what doesn’t work on the field, they keep doing the same things that lead to defeat. From bad play calls to poor pass coverage, not much changes from week to week.
Hopefully, that doesn’t mean that if Seattle were in a big game situation on the one-yard line with the best touchdown scoring running back, Pete Carroll would call a pass play again. But, I digress from the matter at hand.
Here are our top four takeaways from the Seahawks 23-13 loss to Arizona.
Everett was in the house (Lockett too)
Gerald Everett showed why so many people were excited about the Seattle Seahawks acquiring him in the offseason. The big tight end finished the day with three catches for 37-yards, and one of those catches flashed some of his immense potential as he broke tackles and showed a general unwillingness to be tackled without a fight.
Tyler Lockett had another good day. He got open several times and roasted Arizona’s secondary. That was evident on his 48-yard catch in the fourth quarter when he got behind Arizona cornerback Robert Alford. Lockett ended up with 115 yards on 4 catches but was held scoreless.
