The Arizona Cardinals’ final game of the season is at home against the Seattle Seahawks. In a simulation of the game on Madden NFL 24, the Cardinals lost the game 24-14.
Kyler Murray threw two touchdown passes and receiver Greg Dorth had a huge game with nine catches for 137 yards and a touchdown, but a red-zone interception by Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen in the first half led to Seattle taking the lead and never giving it back.
The Cardinals took a 7-3 lead on a 19-yard touchdown pass to Dortch, while the defense held the Seahawks to a pair of field goals before the interception.
The Seahawks made a 54-yard field goal before halftime to take a 9-7 lead.
After halftime, Geno Smith threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and then a six-yard touchdown pass to Noah Fant to give the Seahawks a 24-7 lead.
