SEAHAWKS 28, CARDINALS 10
We'll take it. The second half of the game was almost as boring as the Detroit/Seattle game earlier this year where no points were scored in the second half.
There were some tense moments when Hasselbeck got his left shoulder landed on once and then twisted his ankle into the turf for the second injury.
Other than that, there were various nicks and general getting battered-ness that the Seahawks were trying to stay away from, being that they were up 21-3 at half and had pretty much had the game sewn up. The motive was to keep the players as healthy as possible for next week.
Because next week, it's Hawks at SF. And Terrell Owens has a broken collarbone.
Bottom line is, the Hawks fans are actually rooting for the Raiders to win for once, because a Raider win and a Hawks win means your Seattle Seahawks are in the playoffs. Granted, the first playoff game would be on the road, but hey, it's better than nothing. If they make it, it would have been ~2.25 years since a Seattle team made it to the playoffs. Thanks, Mariners.
