> Arizona’s OL has presented one of the more disappointing regressions of the 2025 season. The Cardinals’ big men had begun to establish themselves as one of the better units in football. But without former OL coach Klayton Adams, this group has looked disjointed. Facing one of the better defensive fronts in the NFL, they simply had no answers.

> For a team that has been so predicated on running the football and utilizing play-action, being consistently unable to protect one’s QB (particularly a less mobile and elusive one than Murray) is all but a death sentence. It’s not that there isn’t talent necessarily, but they’re struggling to execute, while the blocking schemes appear similarly flawed.

> But it wasn’t just the trenches. The Cardinals flat-out couldn’t compete with a tough opponent on the road. The mental toughness Arizona displayed on Monday looks all but gone, as Jonathan Gannon falls to 0-6 against Seattle — a once-great rivalry that appears long-dead.

> The Cardinals are clearly far from contention this season at 3-6, with more tough opponents waiting on the schedule. While the Seahawks might be a tough matchup for Gannon’s squad, these types of losses are hard to turn into positive motivation. Arizona looks miles away from making noise in the NFC West after Sunday’s domination.
