Seahawks vs. Cardinals live stream: How to watch 'Thursday Night Football' online

( live stream )The Seahawks and Cardinals were supposed to be battling for first place in the NFC West. Instead, both teams are looking up at the resurgent Los Angeles Rams in the standings. One of those teams will take an important step forward in its pursuit of the Rams when Seattle and Arizona meet on Thursday Night Football; kickoff is at 8:25 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on NFL Network and NBC (live stream for NBC and for Amazon).

The Cardinals’ playoff hopes are still alive at 4-4, though the losses of Carson Palmer and David Johnson may have left them dead in the water. The Seahawks will come to Arizona in need of a bounce-back win after suffering a dramatic 17-14 loss to Washington in Week 9.

Seattle currently sits a shade outside the 2017 playoff picture, but a win over Drew Stanton would put pressure on the rest of the NFC as the franchise enjoys its Sunday off. Injuries are a concern though. The Seahawks will be without Eddie Lacy at running back, while Luke Joekel and Marcus Smith were also listed as “out.”

• 5 reasons to watch Thursday Night Football

In his sixth season in the league, Russell Wilson is on pace to have the best passing season of his career. While his completion percentage isn’t up, he’s currently third in the NFL with 2,305 yards. At this pace, he would finish the season with 4,610, beating his previous best of 4,219 from last season.

• Seahawks injury updates: Earl Thomas doubtful for Arizona game, Rees Odhiambo placed on IR
• Seattle was the purveyor of last week’s sloppiest — and best — NFL game:

The score was 2-0 for most of the first half, before Rob Kelley punched in a touchdown with just under three minutes to go in the first half. The two teams combined for 23 penalties and 200 penalty yards, as well as eight sacks. There were also three turnovers between the two teams, and three missed field goals by Seahawks kicker Blair Walsh.

But then, things got interesting in the fourth quarter.

• Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby joined an exclusive club with his play Sunday:

There was a lot of good that came on Sunday, but maybe nothing was quite as good, or as sweet as Karlos Dansby’s interception of rookie C.J. Beathard.

With that interception, Dansby joined a special group in the history of the NFL.

Dansby becomes just the fifth member of the 40 sack, 20 interception club in NFL history.

• Pete Carroll’s obsession with running the ball cost his team a win in Week 9:

Yes, Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell will just keep trying to party like it’s 2013. Granted, the addition of Duane Brown is a huge boost to the line, but going back to the run-first game plan was suspicious, even in a home game against an injury-ravaged Washington team. It turned out to be disastrous in practice.

Can Drew Stanton lead the Cardinals back to the postseason?

Stanton has been an NFL quarterback since 2007, which is sort of amazing when you consider he’s never completed more than 58 percent of his passes in a season. He earned some credit after going 5-3 as Arizona’s starter in 2013 but still had a passer rating of just 78.3 that season — or the rough equivalent of 2017 Mike Glennon. In 14 appearances since 2015, he’s completed only 50 of his 117 pass attempts (42.7 percent).
