Gardner Minshew’s first start for Arizona after a game-changing relief appearance against Dallas brought no repeat of that comeback magic: the Cardinals lost 17-3 to Seattle, completing a season sweep and extending their losing streak against the Seahawks to 11 games. Minshew completed 21 of 30 passes for 166 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, while Seattle’s pressure and Arizona’s ineffective offense limited the team to a field goal. The Cardinals had a chance to make it close late, but a fourth-down pass to Trey McBride fell incomplete near the goal line. Coach Mike LaFleur called the scoring failure a collective effort; rookie Carson Beck remains Minshew’s backup.
Where do you stand?
How it spread
What each side asserts, disputes — or leaves out entirely.
Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Arizona has lost to the Seahawks eleven times straight and it shows in every phase of the game. They need real changes if they want to break this streak.
Minshew threw for only 166 yards and no scores after looking sharp last week. The Cardinals offense has no answers for Seattle right now.
