Clash at Lumen Field: Arizona Cardinals Face Seattle Seahawks in Week 7 Showdown
As the Arizona Cardinals prepare to take on the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this crucial matchup. The Cardinals have had a challenging season so far, with a record that reflects their struggles on both sides of the ball.
In their last game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Cardinals were unable to find their rhythm, falling 26-9. Their offense struggled to convert on third down with only a 38 percent success rate and failed to score any touchdowns. Defensively, they managed three sacks and forced three three-and-outs but ultimately couldn't contain the Rams' offense.
The previous home game against the Cincinnati Bengals showed some promise offensively as they scored 20 points but still fell short by two touchdowns. The rushing attack was effective with an average of over six yards per carry and one touchdown. However, turnovers continue to be an issue for Arizona; they gave up three in that game alone.
Looking back further into week four against the San Francisco 49ers, despite putting up a better fight offensively with two passing touchdowns and achieving a higher third-down conversion rate of over 50 percent, it wasn't enough as they succumbed to a heavy defeat of 35-16.
The upcoming game presents another opportunity for redemption. The team's performance has shown some bright spots – particularly in rushing efficiency – but consistency is key if they want to turn things around this season.
Fans can expect head coach Kliff Kingsbury and his staff to make adjustments based on these past performances as they aim for better execution on both sides of the ball. Improving third-down efficiency and reducing turnovers will be critical factors if Arizona hopes to secure victory at Lumen Field.
The scheduled kickoff is set for October 22nd at 1:05 PM local time (4:05 PM ET). Fans can catch all the action live from Seattle's iconic venue via broadcast network FOX or follow along through various streaming services offering FOX’s NFL coverage.
