The Arizona Cardinals will face the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in three weeks this coming Sunday, this time at home.
They must face perhaps the league’s hottest defensive player, Seattle’s defensive tackle Leonard Williams.
He wrecked the Cardinals’ 16-6 loss to the Seahawks two Sundays ago and was the main protagonist in a 26-21 Seahawks win on Sunday over the New Jets.
Over his last two games, Williams has 4.5 sacks, 10 total tackles, six tackles for loss, six quarterback hits, a pass breakup and an interception he returned 92 yards for a touchdown.
Williams singlehandedly made the Cardinals’ guards look terrible.
If the Cardinals are going to snap their two-game losing streak, they will have to find a way to slow Williams and keep him both away from the football and quarterback Kyler Murray.
Pretty simple, right?
