The Arizona Cardinals’ defense had done their best. They had held the Seattle Seahawks to 13 points through three quarters of their primetime matchup. The unit had held up well, now all they needed was some assistance from the offensive side of the ball.
By the time a bit of help did arrive, it was too late. Andre Ellington’s late touchdown run got the Cardinals closer, but it wasn’t enough. A failed onside kick followed, and Arizona had lost 22-16.
It wasn’t as if Drew Stanton and company didn’t have opportunities to put points on the board.
