THE STORY: SEATTLE – Gardner Minshew got to go back to the state that first made him famous, but that didn't mean Minshew magic was a guarantee.

The quarterback, like many signal-callers in the NFL this season, found the Seahawks defense daunting, and the good vibes the Cardinals had coming out of their win in Dallas the week before were quieted in a 17-3 loss at Lumen Field.

The Cardinals (3-6) drove for a field goal on their first possession, starting at their 1-yard line and reaching the Seattle 10 before stalling. But there was little until a fourth-quarter drive that got them a first-and-goal at the Seattle 4 with six minutes left.

The Cardinals couldn't score, a fourth-down pass in the end zone to Trey McBride falling incomplete, The Seahawks (5-4) ran the clock out from there.

The Seahawks swept the season series from the Cardinals, after winning 31-7 in Arizona in Week 2.

Minshew finished 21-for-30 for 166 yards, McBride had seven catches for 54 yards, pushing his streak of games with at least seven receptions to 11.
