National Football League explains ruling on no-catch in Seattle-Arizona game

“Our guys know that when you get an undefeated-well we’ll see if they’re undefeated, but probably undefeated – team come into your house, a first place team from the AFC, and we’ve got a lot at stake still”. Not surprisingly, the Seahawks gave up a safety and had three punts on those drives.

“If it had been a coaster all the way, who knows if we could handle adversity down the road”, he said, “Now that you’ve done it on the road, it proves that you can”. “When you have those plays, when they strip you and they score points, it’s really hard to come back”. Whatever the case may be, the Bengals signal caller needs to forget about this Monday night game and start focusing on proving that it was a fluke in preparation for Sunday night. We asked him to do a lot of checks, like a quarterback, and he was spot on in this game. Didn’t find the opportunity to get to the game plan at all. “You just can’t play offensive football with penalties like that”. They’re missing something far more intangible: The air of intimidation.

Arians said on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that there’s a possibility Iupati could play next Sunday night against Cincinnati.

ROCKET RETURN: Seattle wide receiver and special teams standout Ricardo Lockette, who was taken off the field on a backboard two weeks ago against Dallas, was part of the pregame festivities. Seattle failed on each of those plays.

The Cardinals answered with a 43-yard field goal on the final play of the first half. “…We have to stay on schedule”. The Seahawks had three defensive penalties on third downs that kept drives alive for Arizona. “Carroll said Sunday’s officiating crew largely called the game the way the Seahawks expected”. “It definitely hurts us”. The Cards took a 22-7 lead. Any remaining margin for error is almost gone.

“What’s on display more than anything this year is his resiliency”, Jordan said.

At least not in the second quarter when Arizona scored two touchdowns, each on a pass of more than 25 yards to Michael Floyd. A year later, Sherman is interception-less, but it’s not because quarterbacks are refusing to throw the ball his way. Long-yardage situations played into Arizona’s blitzing scheme, which harassed Wilson often. Seattle’s rushing attack never had a chance to get going. The Seahawks finished with just 12 actual running plays and six scrambles from Russell Wilson. Palmer sees Bennett, takes a couple of shuffle steps forward to buy himself more time, and launches a flawless pass to Floyd down the right sideline for a huge gain. Palmer averaged 13.4 yards per completion against Sherman.

That was the same drive as the Brown pass reception Palmer alluded to.

The Seahawks were flagged for 14 penalties Sunday – tied for the most in the Pete Carroll era. They have a weapon in Jimmy Graham at tight end, but outside of that they do not have the receiving corps to make an aerial attack their bread and butter.

-RUSH DEFENSE: B plus.

Taunting the Seattle crowd after the Andre Ellington touchdown run that iced the 39-32 win over the Seahawks, Palmer made the universally-recognized Triple H crotch-chop gesture.

-SPECIAL TEAMS: C plus. This was a flawless combination for Seattle being able to control time of possession with their running game, and in turn being able to throw a tough defense out there to shut down even the league’s best offenses. Seattle’s two-point conversion attempt was incomplete, leaving the Seahawks down 25-23.
