Arizona Cardinals’ defensive flaws exposed in Seattle Seahawks’ win

With their backs against the wall for much of the game against the defending NFL champion Seattle Seahawks, the Arizona Cardinals’ defense did what it has done all season: It bent, but didn’t break.

But in a game in which the team had its lowest offensive point total since a 58-0 defeat at Seattle two years ago, flaws and mistakes tend to be highlighted more than successes.

“We could’ve tackled a lot better,” coach Bruce Arians said after the Cardinals’ 19-3 loss Sunday at the Seahawks. “We could’ve tackled (quarterback Russell Wilson) about five more times for losses, and they ended up being big plays down the field.”
