"An impressive season-opening win over the Los Angeles Chargers showed that these Arizona Cardinals have potential to be a much-improved football team. The subsequent lopsided loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday showed just how far they have to go to reach that potential and compete in the loaded NFC West. Arizona's home losing streak is now at eight games and more than 360 days after a 31-7 loss to the Seahawks, who are the defending Super Bowl champions and look like one of the early favorites again this season.
"The Arizona Cardinals have a Seahawks problem. Tied at halftime against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Cardinals bumbled their way through the second half of a 31-7 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday, extending their losing streak to 10 straight in the series. “It's frustrating losing to the same team, just losing in general,” Cardinals linebacker Zaven Collins said.
