Wilson, Seahawks Rout Cardinals 36-6

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Seattle Seahawks are storming into the postseason with a rousing victory over the Arizona team that had dethroned them as NFC West champions.

Russell Wilson threw three touchdown passes in a second-quarter outburst, and the Seahawks emphatically snapped the Cardinals' nine-game winning streak in a 36-6 rout Sunday.

"Absolutely, this was a statement," the Seahawks' Christine Michael said.

Playing on the same field where they lost a Super Bowl heartbreaker last February, the Seahawks (10-6) dominated from their opening possession and led 30-6 at the half.

"It was just us playing our style of football," Seattle's Richard Sherman.
