Seattle Seahawks’ loss to Arizona Cardinals puts playoff hopes on life support

The Seattle Seahawks’ home defeat against their NFC West rivals all but puts an end to the playoff hopes of the two-time NFC champions.

Call it muscle memory of a champion’s pedigree. Call it frustration overload after a half (or more) of looking futile and, at times, foolish. Call it a team simply willing itself back into competitiveness.

Whatever the impetus, the Seahawks on Sunday night turned crisis into catharsis. They turned a forlorn, irritable, impatient crowd at CenturyLink Field into a frenzied mob of delirium. They tried, with all the intensity they could muster, to turn a season-killer into a season-saver.
