That most definitely was not how the Seahawks wanted to enter the most important week of their season.
Before Seattle could host the 49ers in a winner-take-all battle for the NFC West title, the Seahawks played host to the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 16 on Sunday, and their tune-up did not go well whatsoever.
Seattle actually began the game on a high note, ending an eight-play, 89-yard opening drive with a touchdown. But it was all downhill from there.
The Cardinals outscored the Seahawks 27-6 from midway through the first quarter on, and limited Seattle to just 135 total yards of offense after that opening scoring drive.
