Seahawks Head to the Desert Looking for First Win at U of Phoenix
Stadium 

 

The Seahawks begin a string of three consecutive road trips for the
third time in team history (1997, 2000). In each of those seasons,
Seattle posted a

1-2 record during the stretch. This excursion begins at division-leading
Arizona. Kickoff is slated for 1:15 pm and the game will be televised on
FOX (channel

13 in Seattle) and broadcast on News Talk 97.3 KIRO FM and on 710 ESPN
Radio in Seattle. Calling the game for the fifth time this season on FOX
will be

Dick Stockton and Charles Davis.

 

It will be the 22nd regular season meeting between the two clubs, with
Arizona holding a 12-9 series edge. Arizona has won five of the last six
meetings,

including all three held at the University of Phoenix Stadium, after
Seattle won four in a row from 2004-06. Since re-alignment in 2002,
Seattle holds

an 8-7 mark.

 

In last month's game on October 18, the Cardinals held the ball for more
than 42 minutes, held the Seahawks to 14 rush yards and 11 of 30 passing
in their

27-3 victory at Qwest Field. Last season, Arizona swept the season
series for the first time, winning at Qwest Field for the first time
since 2002, 26-20,

on November 16, 2008.

 

Two of Matt Hasselbeck's top four passer rating performances have come
against Arizona (133.5 on 12/10/06 and 131.6 on 12/9/07). He needs 56
attempts and

1,422 yards to pass Seahawks Ring of Honor member Dave Krieg for the top
spot as Seattle's all-time gunslinger.

 

 

Go Hawks!!!
