Wells gives Cardinals a more balanced attack
The Cardinals' much-maligned rushing game keyed the win, and the hard running of Beanie Wells served as the catalyst. The rookie took over in the second half as his physical running style wore down the Seahawks. With Wells grinding out tough yards between the tackles, Arizona was able to seize control by deftly mixing the run and pass to keep Seattle's defense off balance. The Cardinals will always scare opponents due to the explosiveness of their aerial attack, but Wells' recent emergence will make the offense even more dangerous because it's more balanced and versatile.
