Seahawks Discussing Starting Cardinals Game Earlier Due to Possible Mariners Conflict

The Seattle Seahawks are exploring the possibility of moving the time of their game against the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday to avoid a potential conflict with the Seattle Mariners, coach Pete Carroll told reporters Monday.

The Mariners are tentatively slated to host the Houston Astros for Game 4 of the American League Divisional Series next Sunday. That game will only be played if necessary, but a decision regarding the Seahawks-Cardinals game will almost certainly be made beforehand.

Game 3 of the best-of-five series does not take place until Saturday, making it logistically impossible to push the decision until it's determined whether Game 4 will be necessary.
