SEATTLE — This Arizona Cardinals’ surge of rewriting their sorry history has now written off Seattle.
Kurt Warner completed 32-of-44 passes for 395 yards — his franchise-record fourth straight 300-yard game — and J.J. Arrington scored a career-high two touchdowns as Arizona held off the desperate Seahawks in a 26-20 victory on Sunday to essentially knock Seattle from its NFC West throne.
The 37-year-old veteran completed 19 of his first 21 passes, while Anquan Boldin, who had 13 catches for a career-best 186 yards, and Larry Fitzgerald — 10 receptions, 151 yards — roamed free all day in Arizona’s first win at Seattle since 2002.
The Cardinals are 7-3 for the first time since 1977, when they were in St. Louis. Arizona can clinch its first division title since 1975 next week when it hosts the Giants and San Francisco plays at Dallas.
Arizona led 26-7 entering the fourth quarter.
Matt Hasselbeck was 17-for-29 for 170 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in his first game in six weeks after a bulging disk in his back caused nerve issues down his leg. Seattle’s loss handed exiting Mike Holmgren the first 2-8 start in his 17 years as a head coach.
