--The last time these teams met in Arizona, Seattle had a chance to drive for the win, but was foiled when Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander muffed a handoff, which was recovered by the Cardinals and led to Neil Rackers' game-winning field goal. Alexander said he thought that Hasselbeck was audibling out of the run.
--When these teams played in November, Matt Hasselbeck created a bit of a stir when he said after the game he was glad that somebody on the Cardinals was going to get fined by the league. Hasselbeck was referring to a hit by Adrian Wilson. Hasselbeck apologized the next day.
--Part of the reason Hasselbeck made his comments about the fines is that he was out of it after the game. Immediately after the game, he was throwing up on the sideline. Then in his postgame press conference, he was clearly not as lucid as he usually is.
--CB Marcus Trufant led the Seahawks last season with seven interceptions. He has only one this season, though part of the reason is that teams are not throwing as much to the receiver he is covering.
--CB Josh Wilson was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his five-tackle, two-interception, one-sack game against the New York Jets last week. Wilson leads the Seahawks with four interceptions and had one against Arizona QB Kurt Warner in the teams' first meeting this year.
--All of Seattle's receivers combined have only 242 more yards than what Arizona receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin have produced this year (2,338 yards). The Seahawks are led by tight end John Carlson, who has 613 yards on 53 receptions.
--Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said he once broke his hand punching a hole in a blackboard during a speech to his team. "That was not my smartest move of all time," Holmgren said. "I didn't know there was a wall behind it. I thought I could go right through the blackboard and of course then, you can't ever act like it hurt."
BY THE NUMBERS: 183 -- Number of passes Seneca Wallace has thrown without an interception, the franchise record.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "That I cared about them, is one thing. And I cared about this organization is two. And the fact that hopefully people think that it's in a better spot now than when I came. You hear that a lot when coaches leave. It's kind of a typical thing, but looking back on it, and what we went through and the bumps in the road early, I hope people get a grasp of that." -- Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren on what he wants fans to remember about his tenure in Seattle.
