5 takeaways from the Arizona Cardinals' Week 7 win over the Seattle Seahawks | NFL 2020

2. Murray and Hopkins continue to be a deadly combo

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson certainly misses star receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but Arizona QB Kyler Murray has been taking advantage of his new teammate since the season started.

The combination of Murray and Hopkins has been performing well, as Hopkins currently leads the league with 704 receiving yards and is on track to have over 1,400 receiving yards for the season.

Against the Seahawks, Hopkins had 10 receptions with 103 yards and a touchdown. He has been one of the most reliable and accurate receivers in the game since his entrance into the league.

Murray has thrived since Hopkins was traded to the team, and he will certainly continue to rely on him for the foreseeable future.

1. The Seahawks can be beat easily

Looking back at past games, the Seahawks have had plenty of close games in which they could have easily lost, only to seemingly win by luck. They were not so lucky on Sunday night against the Cardinals.

As said earlier, this defense allowed the Cowboys to score 31 points, coming shy of a touchdown to tie the game and go into overtime (or even win with a 2-point conversion). If it were not for the Vikings to choke in the second half of the game, the Seahawks would have lost to a 1-3 team, but seemingly came out and won 27-26.

Against the New England Patriots, if it were not for a wrong play call by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on the 1-yard line, Cam Newton and the Patriots would have come out as the winners.

We will see whether this is true in this two weeks, as the Seahawks will face another division rival, the San Francisco 49ers. The following week they will then face the Buffalo Bills.
