>> al: tonight's aerial coverage being brought to you by geico. "sunday night football" on this 15th night of november. seattle, washington. centurylink field. palmer chased down. throws. and throws it into the seattle bench. third down. carson palmer won the heisman trophy, recruited by paul hackett and played for pete carroll his junior and senior years and bruce arians. played, of course, for marvin lewis, spent years in oakland talking about bruce and pete and two guys who were kind of 180 in ra way but they share a lot of similar traits. >> cris: carson says you cannot be on more opposite ends of the

bruce arians such a fan friendly kind of guy, but carson says he's rough on the players in the film discussion. >> al: third down and six. look out. he loses the ball. the ball is loose. it's picked up by the seahawks and rolling into the end zone for a touchdown is k.j. wright. you have cliff avril coming in forcing it. the ball was dislodged. it bounces up in the air. palmer can't handle it. >> cris: but i think carson palmer made the tackle on this play. >> referee: ruled a touchdown. >> cris: ball's out, no question. it's actually going to get kicked there. but now let's watch and see if they pick it up if carson palmer gets a piece. he's diving for the ball. and definitely hit k.j. wright. so that will not be a touchdown. >> al: be down by contact at the

2 yard line. so all turnovers reviewed, and it should make it a first and xwoel at goal at the 2. >> referee: under review. >> al: has had a great year but i haven't called him name often tonight. he hasn't been involved as much as he has been. so many stars on the defense, you overlook a guy like that. as soon as you start overlooking him, up he pops to what would be the biggest play of the game to this point. >> cris: off the edge right here. and nobody picks it up. bobbie massie goes down inside, and they basically just turn avril loose around the edge. that's the second time now we've seen that massie has chosen sort of opposite maybe what would have been the right thing. but that ball was bouncing around. and i think that carson palmer

was the only one on the cardinals that knew hit. it was so loud in here as that was happen. at least he made the heads-up play there to save it. that's the same way that russell wilson did against the cowboys maybe to win that game. >> al: cliff avril is the master of the sack fumble. he's caused 22 of them in his eight years in the league. started his career with detroit. you got robert mathis at 22 and tampa hali of kansas city with the same number. but he does it here again. they'll probably rule this down. >> cris: i believe that he and michael bennett are the best fair of four-three in the game of football. they can line up anywhere. up and down the field. they are a nightmare trying to

get blocks so quick. once this crowd gets into it. >> referee: after review of the play, defender recovered the ball, was contacted by the quarterback putting him down by contact with the ball at the 3 yard line. seattle's ball first and goal from the 3. please put 14:49 on the game clock. >> al: tom cable offensive line coach. for a while he was the head coach of oakland. >> cris: i'll tell you, he has remade this offensive line. they were not very good earlier in the year. but over the past two or three games you can see the improvement. >> al: there's okung who hurt his ankle and had to come out on the last series. first and goal from the three yard line.

finds it. touchdown. handshakes in the end zone. don't see that very often these days. two-point conversion. we have a tied game. >> cris: patrick lewis, the new center, going to jump out there and get bucannon. then marshawn lynch took his sweet time getting in there but found his way in and nobody ever did put him on the ground. now this game is starting to turn into the physical battle that i really thought it might be for the seattle seahawks and what they might do on offense. and maybe now they just carry this on. because once marshawn lynch gets going, boy, this place goes crazy in here.

>> al: two-point conversion. three receivers set to the left. they try to tie the game. and a little floater is incomplete. and there is no flag on the play. so it remains a two-point game with arizona still on top early in the fourth. family? yep, totally. it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. the sign then drive event. zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment and other select

being brought to you by the united states air force. experience more at airforce.com. by walmart, share wonder every day. by geico. 15 minutes could save you on car insurance. brought to you by the newly designed volkswagen passat. that's graham coming over in a trade with the saints in the off-season. with the staff and families and patients a tt seattle veterans administration hospital earlier this week. centurylink field just south of downtown seattle. that's marshawn lynch's mother, delisa. she gets the football that he carried into the end zone. >> cris: not afraid of expressing her opinion. we've had a few of those. loves her baby. >> al: her baby's pretty quiet at least publicly. so mom carries the torch. david johnson, a couple of yards

in. and coverage is outstanding. tackled by michael morgan at the 13 yard line. >> cris: one of the things for arizona offensively is since mike iupati has gone out we've not seen the same kind of success running the football. local go back to regular season, postseasons since 2012, they only trail by 19. two of those wins were in the nfc championship games against san francisco then last year against green bay. the crowd trying to disrupt the signals of carson palmer at the 13 yard line. pressure up the middle. palmer on the outside. too high for fitzgerald. >> cris: chris johnson is not a very big guy but carson palmer

said, listen, this guy is not afraid of anything. these people are about 30 to 40 pounds heavier than he is. he sort of steps up and protects me. i love him. he had the protections down in first week. i couldn't believe how smart a guy he was. >> al: wagner got in there at the end to protect palmer. second down and ten. >> cris: they continue to bring the pressure. >> al: slips away. complete. fitzgerald gets ripped by right. and a flag comes in. larry will get up and with a smile knows he'll be the resip recipient and beneficiary of a personal foul.

>> referee: personal foul. unnecessary roughness. contact on defensive receiver. 15 yards from previous spot. first down. >> cris: he knew it was going to come. he was trying to slow down. hit me here. but instead k.j. wright hit him there. right call. k.j. wright saying, listen, my bad. >> al: yep. larry bounces up with a smile, penalty. takes him up to the 28 yard line. first down. half a minute into the fourth quarter. >> cris: three tight ends for arizona. maybe they're trying to establish a run game. >> al: we haven't seen this set. this is johnson. who gets taken down there for a gain of two. verman and chancellor come up to take him down.

second down and eight. >> cris: one thing to say larry fitzgerald's going to block them. another thing to get it done. chancellor will spin off of this block and right back into johnson. we have not seen chris johnson break out in this one the way he has in prior games. . >> al: johnson again. slides to his left. up to the 34. irvin being on the tackle. third down and four for the cardinals. >> cris: some play by jordan

diving stop. a little space there. third down and four. . three receivers to the right. palmer's going to go down. the ball's out again. and going into the end zone to give seattle the lead for the touchdown is bobby wagner. k.j. wright with the strip sack. . >> cris: that at least the third free runner i've seen just up here. when you got that pressure, you have to block down. it's the interior gaps you have to get first. and maybe because of all the injuries and the substitutions,

protection mistakes here tonight. and carson palmer has got to be getting a little gun shy here. >> al: well, they lose iupati. they had a big lead. >> cris: but jonathan cooper and bobbie massie on the right side have just had issues throughout the course of the night. and the general rule -- i don't know what the rule is for down here, but the general rule is you have to protect the inside gap first because that's the shortest path to the quarterback, and it has cost them a couple. >> al: they're going to go for two here to try to make it a six-point lead. the last two third down plays for arizona have both been strip sacks. >> cris: wow. and you have to say this atmosphere has something to do with it. >> al: no doubt. and that seattle defense. >> cris: a little bit. >> al: which has always been very good. leaked a little bit in first half. but that's the seattle defense that this crowd has come to know

and love. two-point conversion. you have wilson on the other. fires incomplete. so they don't convert again. put the pressure on. but for the first time tonight seattle has the lead. 13 minutes to go. they're up by 4. we reinvented the surface pro. so you can reinvent everything else. we're the open water paddlers. the best part about kayaking together are times like this. here's to friends who reac for better. fewer carbs, fewer calories, superior taste. michelob ultra.

the superior light beer yeah. that's the one right? we forgot dave! thank you. so, can the test drive be over now? maybe head back to the dealership? it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. the sign then drive event. zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment on a new tiguan and other select

>> al: thanksgiving night special night for us as we go to green bay. bears/packers is always great. brett favre will have his number retired. jersey number retired, number 4, at a halftime ceremony. going to be quite a night, thanksgiving night. bears/packers right here on nbc. so seattle has now had the lead in every game over the last 3 1/2 seasons every one that wilson has played in. and david johnson gets tackled up at the 17 yard line. >> cris: since mike iupati has gone out, protection issues have been an issue. here they're going to leave a

runner on the inside gap as massie goes to the outside. the only time, one guy there, they double-team inside and leave cliff avril, maybe the most dangerous pass rusher on this team, then they'll block outside and leave the three runners inside. maybe that was chris johnson's guy, i'm not sure. but it's been the protection and the free runners that has completely turned this game. >> al: see if the adjustments are made here as they stride from the 17 yard line. palmer takes it out of the pistol. throws to fitzgerald. larry for a 15 yard gain on first down. >> cris: the biggest difference, al, with this football team in my opinion has been their ability to run the ball. mike iupati has been their best run blocker. with jer aud veldheer, they look like a different team running

now over to seattle's defense because it's a pass rush game. >> al: they're averaging about 2.3 yards per rush tonight. that won't get it done. palmer to the outside. too high. intended for john brown. it will be second down and ten. >> cris: give carson palmer credit. he stood in there. i think i would have been flinching a little bit after what i've been through for the past two or three series, but it may very well come down to now can carson palmer and larry fitzgerald and company get it done throwing the football? >> al: for palmer, for the cardinals who at one point in the game led 19-0. deep drop. caught. fitzgerald has to go to the

that's going to set up a third down and four. this defense has had trouble holding leads. the seahawks with four losses, in every game they've had the lead in the fourth quarter and they've lost four games, two in overtime. kris richard, the defensive coordinator. see what he dials up on a third down and four. >> cris: they were okay on the four man rush. it's when they bring pressure they've had issues. >> al: and here comes pressure. the catch and skips out of bounds. floyd has the first down pending the call. 19 excepted penalties in the game. 11 on seattle. >> cris: a collision with earl thomas and larry fitzgerald well past five yards.

>> referee: penalty declined. >> cris: one of the things that happens when you try to bring that pressure, you have to play man coverage behind it. that means your safety here, earl thomas, has to come up and play man coverage on larry jits fer ald. that one a little overly aggressive lp. >> al: floyd made that catch, went through his legs. so he's out for the moment. ball at the 48 yard line. here goes johnson. flung back as he crosses midfield by kam chancellor. gain of three. >> cris: kam chancellor looks like a linebacker here taking on this block. controlling. gets arms extended. sherman forces him to cut back in, chancellor makes the play. you did wonder what seattle's record would have been if a kam chancellor played in those first two ball games when he was

holding out. >> al: one in st. louis and the other in green bay. second and seven. play clock at two. and caught by jaron brown. brown was able to snatch it out of the air. >> cris: i don't think richard sherman can believe it. he could not have jumped this route any better. watch him undercut this thing. he knows exactly what's going on. he's reading the quarterback. and somehow brown tips it to himself. what a play. >> al: yep. when floyd came out. it was jaron brown who came in. 9:40 to go in regulation. downfield. that one's out of bounds. it's jaron brown again.
