<p>Seattle, WA (<a href="http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=NFL/scores/final/recap.aspx?id=3293" target="new">Sports Network</a>) – <span>Olindo Mare</span> kicked five field goals and Mike Williams continued his career revitalization with a touchdown catch in Seattle’s 22-10 win over Arizona in a battle for the top spot in the <span class="caps">NFC</span> West at Quest Field.</p>
<p><span>Matt Hasselbeck</span> completed 20-of-38 throws for 192 yards and one touchdown while <span>Marshawn Lynch</span> carried 24 times for 89 yards for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seahawks</a> (4-2), who took over sole possession of first place in the division.</p>
<p>Williams caught a career-high 11 passes for 87 yards and now has a career-best 32 grabs for 348 yards to this point in the season.</p>
<p><span>Max Hall</span> connected on only 4-of-16 tosses for 36 yards and was intercepted once, and left the game after taking a blow to the head as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Cardinals</a> (3-3) fell a game behind the victors.</p>
<p><span>Derek Anderson</span> took over and went 8-for-17 for 96 yards and <span>Beanie Wells</span> gained 54 yards on 14 runs and scored a touchdown for the visitors, who had won six of the previous seven meetings.</p>
<p>Seattle moved 78 yards in 14 plays on the game’s first possession, but had to settle for Mare’s 20-yard field goal when the drive stalled at the two.</p>
<p>The hosts went three-and-out midway through the second quarter before <span>Jon Ryan</span>’s punt was muffed by rookie <span>Andre Roberts</span> inside the Cardinals 20 and recovered by <span>Roy Lewis</span> at the two.</p>
<p>Two plays later, Williams made a leaping grab of Hasselbeck’s throw and came down inbounds in the left corner of the end zone for his first TD of the year, making it a 10-0 game with 5:46 remaining in the half.</p>
<p>Less than a minute into the second half, Hall was sacked by Chris Clemons, who jarred the ball loose, and it was recovered by <span>Raheem Brock</span> at the Cardinals’ 11. The hosts could not pick up a first down and had to settle for a 31-yard boot from Mare that extended their lead to 13-0.</p>
<p>Again, Seattle was able to take advantage of a special teams miscue, as <span>Jason Wright</span> of the Cardinals booted the ensuing kickoff toward the left sideline, where it was recovered by <span>Kennard Cox</span> at the Arizona 16.</p>
<p>The Seahawks gained only three yards before Mare came on to kick a 31-yarder that was nullified by a holding penalty. The veteran then connected from 41 yards out, but that was wiped away by another holding call. The third try was the charm, as Mare nailed it from 51 with 10:57 left in the third period.</p>
<p>Hall was replaced by Anderson on the next Arizona possession and the former starter steered an eight-play, 70-yard drive that Wells capped with a two-yard scoring run to trim the margin to 16-7 with 5:43 to go in the quarter. Anderson completed all three of his passes on the march, including a 29-yarder down the middle to <span>Early Doucet</span> that put the visitors at the Seattle 16.</p>
<p>Mare kicked a 46-yard field goal that the Seahawks took off the board after a defensive offside call gave them a first down at the 23. Hasselbeck found Williams for 15 yards to set up 1st-and-goal, but again Seattle couldn’t punch it in and settled for a 24-yarder from Mare to make it a 19-7 contest with 49 seconds left in the third quarter.</p>
<p><span>LaRod Stephens-Howling</span> brought the ensuing kickoff from four yards deep in his own end zone to the Seattle 33. The long return set up <span>Jay Feely</span>’s 24-yard field goal that sliced the deficit to 19-10 just 12 seconds into the final quarter.</p>
<p>Mare’s final successful kick of the day, from 26 yards out, extended the hosts’ lead to 22-10 with 7 1/2 minutes to play in the game.</p>
<p>Game Notes</p>
<p>Hasselbeck is 17-5 in his last 22 home starts against divisional foes…<span>Justin Forsett</span> ran nine times for 41 yards and caught two passes for 31 yards for Seattle…<span>Tim Hightower</span> carried six times for a team-high 59 yards for Arizona. <span>Larry Fitzgerald</span> was held to three catches for 30 yards while Doucet made two grabs for 33…Fellow wide receiver <span>Steve Breaston</span> was inactive for a third straight week…The Cardinals lead the all-time series 13-10…Arizona had won 12 of its previous 15 divisional games before Sunday.</p>

<p>After two quarters and two possessions of futility, Arizona Cardinal’s head coach Ken Wisenhunt has had enough of the <span>Max Hall</span> experience, opting to bring in <span>Derek Anderson</span> with just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter. The official line on Hall is a blow to the head, though anyone watching can tell it’s a chronic case of terrible quarterbacking plaguing him.</p>
<p>Thus ends Max Hall’s introduction to Qwest Field. After talking a big game this week, Hall failed to back up his talk, completing four of 16 passes for 46 yards and an interception.</p>
<p>Good work, 12th man. Let that be a lesson to opposing quarterbacks. Don’t challenge our fans.</p>

<p><span>Michael Robinson</span> was making an impact on today’s game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Arizona Cardinals</a>, but injured his knee and will not return. Robinson forced a fumble on a muffed punt, setting the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seahawks</a> up for their first touchdown in the first half. He also rushed for three yards on one carry and caught one pass for seven yards.</p>
<p>In the third quarter, Arizona has turned the ball over twice in the second half so far, one coming on a muffed kickoff. The Seahawks failed to turn each into touchdowns. Deep in Arizona territory, Seattle settled for a field goal. After two holding penalties backed the Seahawks up on the next possession, <span>Olindo Mare</span> finally nailed a 51 yarder.</p>
<p>The Seahawks are in the third quarter, leading the Arizona Cardinals 16-0 in a sloppy game.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seattle Seahawks</a> made it out of the first half with a 10-0 lead, thanks in no small part to their defense and special team. Amid a pounding rain for much of the first half, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/">Cardinals</a> and Seahawks looked sloppy on offense, combining for four turnovers and 213 total yards of offense.</p>
<p><span>Max Hall</span>, who thought Qwest Field would be a fun place to play, isn’t having much fun so far. Hall is 4-15 for 36 yards and an interception through two quarters. Not too fun anymore is it? <span>Earl Thomas</span> set the tone, interception a wobbly Hall pass on the Cardinals’ first possession of the game.</p>
<p>The Cardinals mishandled a punt late in the first half, allowing <span>Michael Robinson</span> to fall on the ball at the two yard line. The Seahawks capitalized two plays later when <span>Matt Hasselbeck</span> hit Mike Williams on a fade route for the score. Hasselbeck had an awful half outside of the touchdown, completing eight of 16 passes for 56 yards and the aforementioned touchdown.</p>
<p><span>Marshawn Lynch</span> is pacing the Seahawk running backs with 11 carries for 61 yards. <span>Justin Forsett</span> added four carries for 11 yards as the change of pace back.</p>
<p>The Cardinals get the ball to start the half down 10-0.</p>

<p>It's another setback for the rookie left tackle, who's been hampered by injuries all season. After suffering a high ankle sprain during the preseason, Okung made his debut against St. Louis, leaving the game early when his ankle flared up again. He returned against the Chicago Bears, playing the whole game and handling himself well against the Bears pass rush.</p>

<p>Rookie left tackle <span>Russell Okung</span>, already hampered by an ankle injury, lasted all of one series for the <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Seahawks</a> today before limping off the field with an apparent knee or ankle injury. Okung was rolled up on by tight end Chris Baker on the play, experiencing a bit of friendly fire in the pile. Okung has left the field and is headed to the locker room for further tests.</p>
<p>Okung played well last week against the <a href="https://www.windycitygridiron.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chicago Bears</a>, keeping defensive end <span>Julius Peppers</span> in check all game long. The Seahawks have high hopes for Okung, but his durability is leaving something to be desired so far.</p>
<p><span>Tyler Polumbus</span> is in for Okung at left tackle. We’ll keep you updated on Okung’s status as the game progresses.</p>
