ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals' winning streak stops at four games after their 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. The two teams are now tied atop the NFC West at 6-5, though Seattle has the tiebreaker over them - pushing the Seahawks over Arizona.

The Seattle Seahawks moved into a tie for the NFC West lead with Sunday's 16-6 win over Arizona, but they got more good news after the game.

The Seattle Seahawks have officially reclaimed first place in the NFC West, at least temporarily, thanks to their 16-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Sunday marked the first win at Lumen Field for the Seahawks since Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins… which was on September 22nd.

The Seahawks were fortunate that the rest of the NFC West didn't separate as they worked through some issues with first-year head coach Mike Macdonald. The other three teams might regret not putting more distance between themselves and Seattle, which seems to be getting better as the season goes on.

The victory over San Francisco boosted Seattle’s postseason odds to 11%, according to The Athletic’s playoff model. Their odds of winning the NFC West currently stands at 8%. The remaining difference includes the opportunity to make the playoffs via the wild card.

The Seattle Seahawks entered the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals with a chance to take first place in the NFC West and sure enough, they did just that thanks to the 16-6 win over its division rival.

Another week and yet another slow start for the Seattle Seahawks and their offense. Week 12 between the Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals has become quite a defensive struggle, which is what the last two games between these teams at Lumen Field were.
