The Seattle Seahawks’ defense put forth a dominant showing versus their NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals in Sunday’s crucial 16-6 Week 12 victory. Mike Macdonald’s defense was firing on all cylinders early. It turns out they set the tone during the opening half of Sunday’s triumph.

The Seahawks have now strung together consecutive positive performances from the defense, and Macdonald hopes that momentum can carry as the team moves forward into December. Seattle is riding a two-game win streak for the first time since the team began the season 3-0.
