The Seahawks host the Cardinals in a key NFC West showdown with Mike Macdonald's team dealing with a host of injuries.
The Seattle Seahawks will welcome the Arizona Cardinals to Lumen Field on Sunday as Mike Macdonald's team looks to bounce back after their horror loss to the Chicago Bears.
The Seahawks have already beaten the Cardinals this season, back in Week 2, 31-7 with Drew Lock starting, and coincidentally, Lock will again get the start this time over the injured Sam Darnold.
The Seahawks ruled out Charles Cross, Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu, Rashid Shaheed, and Brandon Pili, as well as newly acquired star Quenton Nelson, so Macdonald's team is a little banged up.
As for the Cardinals, with Gardner Minshew taking over the starting role after his incredible exploits against a woeful Dallas Cowboys team last week, Arizona will enter this one with a bit of confidence.
But at home, this is a game the Seahawks should be winning, and they can look at what the Cowboys did last week as a cautionary tale.
Don't let them hang around.
With Jaxon Smith-Njigba snagging 3 TDs last time against Arizona, he will be one to watch for the Cardinals' defense, while Trey McBride looms as a key piece Seattle has to slow down.
Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet blew off the cobwebs last week against the Bears, so the pair should be better suited for a bigger workload this week and will hopefully give Lock a good ground game to lean on if the passing attack struggles.
Which it shouldn't, as the Cardinals are ranked 15th for passing yards allowed per game (220.5).
Division games are always tough to pick, and even though Seattle won last time 31-7, it was 7-7 at halftime, so don't expect this to be an easy outing for the Seahawks.
Still, it is one that, if Macdonald's team is to be taken seriously in the NFC, they should be winning.
