Cornerback Quandre Diggs and the Seahawks weren't exactly sure how to act in the minutes following their come-from-behind victory Sunday. Seattle had just won a big game. Geno Smith threw two touchdown passes and the Seahawks rallied for a 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but Seattle still missed the playoffs after the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears.
The Seahawks don't control their playoff destiny after last week's loss to the Steelers, but can make it with a win against the Cardinals and a loss by the Packers.
The Arizona Cardinals were hobbling toward the end of a forgettable 2023, with fans more interested in the upcoming draft and free agency than anything that was happening on the field. No, the Cardinals' 35-31 comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles doesn't change that this is among the worst teams in the NFL this season. In fact, if you squint really hard and imagine a couple of roster upgrades, the 2024 Cardinals could be markedly improved.
Jalen Hurts’ desperation heave was intercepted to seal the Eagles' fourth loss this month and one that meant so much more. Once in their grasp, the Eagles now need help from — yikes, Washington — to win a second straight division title. The team that opened December 9-1 and looked like a favorite to return to the Super Bowl unraveled Sunday with a 35-31 loss to the Arizona Cardinals and now faces the grim reality of opening the playoffs on the road.
