6-8-1. . Arizona Cardinals. 20. team. 32. The Arizona Cardinals looked like their vintage 2015 selves after knocking off the Seattle Seahawks 34-31 in Week 16. Although Arizona’s defense wished it had clamped down on Seattle a bit more in the fourth quarter, which would have avoided a crucial game-winning field goal at the end of regulation. But the victory proved it’s too early to give up on veteran quarterback Carson Palmer. These kinds of wins in Seattle certainly aren’t easy, and we have to include that consideration in our NFL power rankings.
