Seahawks vs. Cardinals: 5 takeaways from Seattle’s amazing win

The Seattle Seahawks blew out the Arizona Cardinals to wrap up the 2015 NFL regular season. 

There was so much to like about the Seattle Seahawks’ performance against the Arizona Cardinals this week. The only complaint might be that the starters played too much in the 36-6 blowout win.

The Seahawks now must get ready for the playoffs. They’ll find out if they’ll be playing in either Minnesota or Washington when the Sunday Night Football game is decided.

If the Packers win, the Seahawks will be the No. 5 seed and travel to Washington. If the Vikings win, then Seattle ends up as the No. 6 seed and they’ll travel to Minnesota.

Here are my 5 takeaways from today’s tremendous win:

1. The Rams game was a fluke

The Seahawks were dominant for five straight weeks, but then the bubble burst last week against the St. Louis Rams. Or did it?

The Seahawks came out today and crushed a team that had won nine straight while playing some of the best teams in the NFL. This game was a blowout from start to finish, and Seattle was clearly the better team.

This game looked just like those five Seahawks games before the Rams game. Wilson was sharp, the blocking was solid and the defense was absolutely dominant.
