GLENDALE, Ariz. — This was the ultimate “tell your stats to shut up’’ game.
The Seahawks and the Cardinals each rushed for 115 yards Sunday, Seattle on 27 carries and Arizona on 23.
And they also had almost identical passing totals — Seattle threw for 225 yards on 28 attempts and the Cardinals 206 on 32.
But from the midway point of the first quarter on, it also felt like a game in which the Seahawks always had control, able to make the big plays when they had to be made.
