RENTON, Wash. -- Hushed voices told the story inside a glum Seattle Seahawks' locker room Sunday. In the interview room next door, even Russell Wilson seemed to come up a bit short of his usual win-or-lose enthusiasm.
The Seahawks had just suffered their worst loss of the season to cap one of their worst weeks in recent memory. It included a pair of suspensions to Josh Gordon and Al Woods, plus news that Duane Brown needs surgery that will sideline him into the postseason. And that was before the Seahawks, with playoff seeding on the line, got hammered at home by a last-place Cardinals team that came to CenturyLink Field with a 4-9-1 record and played a backup quarterback for the game's final 25 minutes.
