Cardinals all but eliminate Seahawks from race

Warner connects with Boldin and Fitzgerald 23 times for 337 yards

Cardinals Seahawks FootballAP
Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner threw for 395 yards for his franchise-record fourth straight 300-yard game. 

On the second play of Arizona’s next drive, Warner got hit by Brandon Mebane. Darryl Tapp recovered the fumble at the Cardinals 14. After Hasselbeck converted a fourth-and-3 with a scramble behind an unintended block by an official, Duckett scored from the 2. Suddenly it was 26-20 with 9:41 left.

But after a blitzing Tatupu hit Warner into an intentional grounding to kill Arizona’s drive with 5:38 left, Seattle chose a bad time for its first three-and-out drive of the game.

The Seahawks got the ball back at their 28 with 2:05 left and no timeouts. On the first play, Hasselbeck went for what he called “a home run” pass to Deion Branch, who had a team-high four receptions in his first full game since January following reconstructive knee surgery and a bruised heel. But Hasselbeck’s line-drive pass was more apt for a double. Branch broke deep and Rodgers-Cromartie slid in for his capping interception.

Hasselbeck looked punch-drunk after taking intravenous fluids afterward.

“I feel like I’m letting people down,” he said, adding he had little left physically in the fourth quarter. “It’s just a bad feeling.”

Notes: Warner has 17 300-yard passing games with the Cardinals, two behind Neil Lomax’s franchise record. ... Seattle lost top CB Marcus Trufant to a concussion and LG Mike Wahle to a shoulder injury. Their status for next week’s game against Washington is unknown.
