The Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals have never played a normal game against each other and they weren’t about to start this week. Seattle was reading from a very different script on Sunday than in their previous two wins. Instead of Geno Smith carrying the team to victory despite atrocious defense, this time around it was the pass rush that won the day. As expected, the PFF player grades are a bit upside-down compared to what we have come to expect this season.
Here are the team’s best and worst performers from this week according to Pro Football Focus.
