Welcome to Week 12 of the 2014 NFL season. It's an NFC West showdown in the Great Northwest as the Arizona Cardinals face the Seattle Seahawks. We will have all the live analysis you can tolerate, so keep it locked right here throughout.
We start with bad news regarding receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who is dealing with a partial tear of the MCL in his left leg:
From @Rapsheet: "It would take a miracle" for Larry Fitzgerald to play. Currently a game-time decision.

That's a nice way of saying Fitz isn't playing today, which means Jaron Brown will have to step up.
Jaron Brown received first team reps all wk in practice, likely will be the third WR today, coaches have always been intrigued w/ his upside

Being that no one receiver is ever purposely the focal point of the passing game, this news is not quite as bad as it would have been, say, four years ago, when Fitz was the offensive threat.
It still hurts, because teams still focus on stopping Fitzgerald from time to time this season. Richard Sherman and Co. will have one less athlete to worry about, but head coach Bruce Arians will find a way to make the passing game work—he always does.
