Today at 4:05 p.m. ET, the Arizona Cardinals (9-1) and Seattle Seahawks (6-4) clash in NFL Week 12 action live from CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The game can be live streamed here. Arizona fans can hear all of the action on KTAR 98.7 while Seattle fans can do the same on KIRO 710.
Arizona enters play with the best record in the NFL and has won six straight games while Seattle had a three game winning streak snapped last time out and the reigning Super Bowl champions sit in third place in the NFC West.
The Cardinals defeated the Detroit Lions 14-6 at home in Week 11 while the Seahawks lost 24-20 to the Chiefs in Kansas City in Week 11.
Arizona topped Seattle 17-10 on Dec. 22 to end its 14-game home winning streak, and the Seahawks haven't been as dominant at home in the 2014 campaign.
The Cardinals have had Drew Stanton under center in place of Carson Palmer, who suffered a season-ending knee injury. Stanton threw for a career-best 306 passing yards last week against Detroit and improved to 3-1 as a starter this season.
Stanton is 67-for-125 (53.6 percent) for 920 yards this season with five touchdowns and two interceptions.
Larry Fitzgerald has been his best weapon in the air, hauling in 46 receptions for 658 yards and two touchdowns while running back Andre Ellington has rushed for a team-best 624 yards on 186 carries while reaching the end zone three times.
Fitzgerald (MCL) and Ellington (foot) have been dealing with ailments, but are expected to play.
The strength of Arizona is its defense, led by cornerback Patrick Peterson.
"We're definitely one of the best in the game," Peterson told ESPN. "I believe we have caught our stride. The last two games, we didn't give up over 200 yards passing with three or four interceptions. That's something we're hoping for the rest of the season."
The Seahawks are excited to take on the team with the NFL's best record today.
"These guys are flying high and we have to see if we can find a way to stop them and score on these guys and then we'll take it to the next one," coach Pete Carroll said per ESPN. "I'm really excited about the way this thing sets up and I think most people should be with all of the drama still out there about the division."
Seattle has relied a lot on the running game as quarterback Russell Wilson has rushed for a career-high 571 yards and is 182-for-291 (62.5 percent) for 2,019 yards in the air with 13 scores and five picks.
Wilson has had some chemistry with Doug Baldwin, who has 485 receiving yards on 44 catches with two touchdowns.
Leading the team's game on the ground has been Marshawn Lynch, who has 177 carries for 813 yards with nine scores.
The Seahawks boast a top-flight corner back themselves in Richard Sherman.
It's Week 12 NFL action when the 9-1 Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks go head-to-head this afternoon at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
