Seahawks take down Cardinals to close gap in NFC West

The Seattle Seahawks bounced back from last week's disappointing loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the best way possible, coming away with a convincing 19-3 victory Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals. With the win, the Seahawks move to 7-4 on the season, pulling to within two games of the 9-2 Cardinals in the NFC West standings:

Here's what you need to know:

• The Seahawks' defense was the story on this day, constantly pressuring the pocket in passing situations and surrendering just 204 yards of total offense.
• While the Seattle offensive line had some trouble of its own holding off the Cardinals' pass rush; surrendering seven sacks, quarterback Russell Wilson made up for it with another efficient performance.
• Wilson finished the game completing 17-of-22 attempts for 211 yards and one touchdown, also adding a game-high 73 rushing yards on 10 carries.
• Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton had one of his worst performances of the season, completing 14-of-26 attempts for 149 yards and one interception.
• The Cardinals' offense continues to struggle in putting together any sort of consistent running game for the young quarterback to lean on, as their 20 rushing attempts went for a total of just 64 yards.
• With the loss, the Cardinals' six-game winning streak comes to an end and they lose to an NFC opponent for the first time this year.
