Wilson keys Seattle win

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Seattle overwhelmed the Arizona Cardinals on offense and stifled them on defense.

It was a dominating Thursday night in the desert for the Seahawks, and the latest evidence that they are the team to beat in the NFC West.

Russell Wilson threw for three touchdowns and Marshawn Lynch ran for 91 yards in Seattle’s 34-22 victory.

The Seahawks intercepted two of Carson Palmer’s passes and sacked him seven times, twice by Chris Clemons, who had been questionable for the game with a hyper-extended elbow.

Wilson was asked if Seattle is the best team in the NFL, but he wouldn’t go that far.

“We’ve got to be the best team every week, that’s the biggest thing,” he said. “We have a great football team, I know that.”

Still, the Cardinals stayed in the game, thanks in large part to a pair of fumbles by Wilson as he was sacked deep in Seattle territory.
