Wilson beats Murray as Seahawks beat Cardinals to lead NFC West | NFL

Carlos Hyde rushed for a season-high 79 yards and one touchdown and Russell Wilson threw two kills as the Seattle Seahawks broke a three-way tie at the top of the NFC West with a 28 win. -21 against the visiting Arizona Cardinals Thursday night. The Seahawks (7-3) advanced half a game ahead of the Los Angeles Rams (6-3), who play Monday in Tampa Bay, and one game ahead of the Cardinals (6-4).

Hyde was back in action after missing three games with a hamstring injury.
The Seahawks ‘worst defense in the league limited the Cardinals’ top-ranked offense to 314 yards, more than 100 below their average (425.5). Arizona only gained 57 rushing yards after coming in with a league-best average of 168.9 per game.

The Cardinals hit the Seattle 27-yard line in the last minute, but the recent acquisition of Carlos Dunlap sacked Kyler Murray in fourth and tenth place to claim the victory.

Wilson completed 23 of 28 passes for a 197-yard season, but did not commit a turnover. He threw 25-yard touchdown passes to DK Metcalf and 11 yards to Tyler Lockett in the first half, and the Seahawks took a 16-7 lead in intermission. Jason Myers threw a 27-yard field goal on the final play of the half.

Murray, who was 29 of 42 for 269 yards and two touchdowns, threw a three-yard pass to Chase Edmonds with 13:19 left to shoot the Cardinals at 23-21.

Seattle kicked off their next possession, but backed the Cardinals on their own 14-yard line. Murray was called up for an intentional stranding on the first down, putting his back on both, and JR Sweezy was signaled to hold in the end zone in the next game, giving the Seahawks safety for a 25-21 lead and the ball. Myers threw a 41-yard field goal with 2:24 left to give the Seahawks a seven-point lead.

The teams traded touchdowns on their first possessions of the second half, both helped by personal foul penalties on defense. Murray threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Dan Arnold to shoot the Cardinals at 16-14. Hyde scored on a two-yard rush the other end to extend Seattle’s lead to 23-14.
