Players of the Game

Arizona receiver Anquan Boldin: Caught 13 passes for 186 yards, which included two receptions of more than 40 yards.

Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner: Completed his first seven passes of the game and had 251 yards passing at halftime.

Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald: Caught 10 passes for 151 yards.

Seattle cornerback Josh Wilson: Returned a first-half interception 58 yards to set up Seattle's only first-half score and he returned a kickoff 56 yards in the second half.

Play of the Game

Warner put some air under the ball on Arizona's first play of the second half and took the air out of Qwest Field. Warner threw a perfectly placed ball to Boldin, who was matched up against linebacker Lofa Tatupu down the middle of the field. The 44-yard gain was the second-longest play of the afternoon and it put the Cardinals firmly in charge after Julius Jones fumbled away Seattle's first possession in the second half.

Turning Point

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's second interception didn't have the degree of difficulty of his first one, which was a diving grab in front of Koren Robinson. The second pick was more dramatic, though. Rodgers-Cromartie ran under a pass Hasselbeck intended for Deion Branch, picking off the Seahawks' last chance to pull out a victory.

Sunday's Seahawks Surprises

• Boldin's 186 yards receiving were the most against the Seahawks since Al Toon of the New York Jets finished with 195 yards in November 1986.

• Seattle allowed an opponent to have two 100-yard receivers for the first time since Cincinnati's Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh each reached triple figures in September 2007.

• No player caught more than 10 passes against Seattle this season through Week 10. Boldin caught 13, Fitzgerald 10.

• The Seahawks scored at least 20 points in a game for only the fourth time in their 10 games this season.

By the Numbers

64 Yards of total offense for Seattle in the first half.

58 Yards Josh Wilson gained in his return of a second-quarter interception.

43 Yards rushing for Seattle, its second-fewest in any game this season.

2 Fumbles Arizona lost inside its own 20, which set up Seattle for two of its three touchdowns.

Injury Report

Seattle: CB Marcus Trufant suffered a concussion in the third quarter and did not return; TE Will Heller suffered a right knee injury on the second-half kickoff, but continued to play; G Mike Wahle suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter and did not return.

Arizona: S Roderick Hood suffered a rib injury; LB Clark Haggans suffered a foot injury in the second quarter.
