NFL Week 4, 2018: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
3. Seattle Seahawks
After two tough losses in a row, the Seattle Seahawks finally came through in Week 3 by handing the Dallas Cowboys another loss to remove the pressure of being one of the only winless teams remaining in the NFL. Now, the question becomes whether the Seahawks can avoid another team earning their first win of 2018 in the Arizona Cardinals, who can’t wait for the month of September to come to an end.
Originally, the Cardinals signed Sam Bradford in the offseason with the intention that he would be the short-term answer at quarterback to give this team a better chance of competing for a playoff spot in the AFC. Instead, Arizona has been one of the biggest laughing stocks from the first couple of weeks, and as a result, Bradford will be riding the bench when his team takes on Seattle.
There was a time a few years ago in which Josh Rosen facing the Seahawks’ defense would seem like a nightmare scenario, but the unit isn’t nearly as dangerous as they used to be for a couple of different reasons. Rosen will most likely experience the typical growing pains as a rookie, but if Seattle doesn’t properly prepare for this matchup, maybe the rookie will end up shocking a lot of folks while helping Arizona pull off the upset in this one.
