THE BLITZ projects the Arizona Cardinals offense as the 3rd-fastest paced team in the NFL (context-neutralized) at the present time, averaging 26.67 seconds per play.The forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.The Seattle Seahawks pass defense has struggled when opposing wideouts have gotten into space, giving up an average of 6.48 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 6th-most in the league.The Seattle Seahawks linebackers profile as the 5th-worst unit in the NFL this year in covering pass-catchers.The Seattle Seahawks have stacked the box versus opponents on 19.9% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-most in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
