With the exception of right tackle this season, the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive line has been healthy overall. However, it appears like a change at right guard is imminent.

On the first possession of the Seahawks’ 16–6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at home, Anthony Bradford sustained an injury. Before being carried inside the dressing room, he was assisted to the sidelines. Bradford was initially deemed iffy, failed to show up, and eventually used crutches and a walking boot.

After the game, Mike Macdonald told reporters that Bradford probably won’t play against the New York Jets in Week 13.

“He has an injury to his ankle,” Macdonald stated. “We’ll see. It’s not damaged in any way. most likely appearing to be at least a game.

This implies that third-round rookie Christian Haynes will be the right guard, at least for the upcoming week. Haynes failed to get a starting position after competing against Bradford during training camp. But because of Bradford’s early-season difficulties, Haynes saw rotational action from Week 2 to Week 8, while Bradford had the whole workload during the preceding two weeks.

The practice squad also includes right guards Jason Peters and McClendon Curtis.

The Seahawks unexpectedly shut down Kyler Murray and the Cardinals’ offense.

Given that the Arizona Cardinals had won four in a row and averaged 29.3 points over their previous three games, Kyler Murray and the team could not have anticipated how tough their matchup with the Seattle Seahawks would be.

However, such figures didn’t impress the Seahawks’ defense, which was coached by Mike Macdonald in his first season.

In the third quarter, Murray, who had been sacked five times, threw a 69-yard interception that Seahawks defender Coby Bryant returned for a touchdown. Leonard Williams, a defensive tackle who finished with 2 1/2 sacks, four quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, and one pass deflection, caused Murray and the Arizona offensive line a lot of trouble. With a 16–6 victory, the Seahawks tied the Cardinals (6–5) for first place in the NFC West.

Arizona was unable to get the running game going despite averaging 149.4 rushing yards per game. James Conner, the starting running back, only contributed eight yards on seven carries to the Cardinals’ final total of 49 yards on 14 carries. Murray became much more susceptible to Williams’ pressure as a result.

He’s a skilled athlete. Jonathan Gannon, the coach of the Cardinals, stated, “We knew he was a good player coming in.” “There’s a reason he’s a premium player. He’s always been a fantastic player, so nice for him. We need to examine how we might adapt and deal with him more effectively. since I believed he ruined the game.

Arizona’s season-low six points were their lowest total.

We didn’t remain on the pitch. Murray remarked, “We simply didn’t make it happen.” It was an extremely frustrating day, particularly given the way we’ve been playing, to come out here and sort of lay an egg and, in a sense, be physically dominated. As I mentioned, they deserve praise.

Murray completed 24 of 37 throws for 285 yards at the end of the game, but Bryant’s interception overshadowed those stats. Under pressure from Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon, he threw the pass.

“I think we’ll be in the game for four quarters if I don’t do it. Because it was trending that way,” Murray explained. “The defense is fighting their ass off and has done everything we asked of them in order to win the game.” We have to improve offensively. We failed to fulfill our half of the agreement.

Michael Wilson’s touchdown catch in the second quarter was halted when left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. was given a holding penalty.

Wilson stated, “There are a lot of things that feel like the game flow just wasn’t in our favor.” “And some games proceed in that manner, and we didn’t perform well enough to compensate for the game’s lack of success.”
