The midseason four-game winning streak that lifted the Arizona Cardinals into the playoff picture seemed as though it happened fast. Their subsequent free fall has been even more jarring. The Cardinals could have moved into a tie for first place in the NFC West with a home win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Instead, they were thoroughly outplayed in a 30-18 loss and are now tied for last in the tightly packed division. Arizona has lost three straight and will face an uphill battle to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The Seahawks (8-5) are in first place, followed by the Rams (7-6), Cardinals (6-7) and 49ers (6-7). Even more daunting for their playoff hopes, the Cardinals lost both of their games against the Seahawks this season, meaning a tiebreaker would go to Seattle. Four games remain. “I just told them we put ourselves in a little bit of a hole now, but all you can do is attack tomorrow, learn tomorrow and have a good week of practice,” second-year coach Jonathan Gannon said. There are plenty of reasons the Cardinals lost to the Seahawks, including Kyler Murray's two interceptions, a handful of holding penalties, a porous run defense and a brutal missed field goal. It all adds up to the fact Arizona is playing its worst football of the season at a time when it needed its best. “I’m sure we’ll stick to our process, but we have to tweak some things,” Gannon said. "I have to tweak some things.” It's probably faint praise, but the Cardinals did make the game interesting in the second half while trying to fight back from a 27-10 deficit. Murray's shovel pass to James Conner for a 2-yard touchdown and subsequent 2-point conversion cut the margin to 27-18. The Cardinals had a chance to make it a one-score contest early in the fourth quarter, but Chad Ryland's 40-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. “I thought we spotted them a lot of points there, but then we battled back,” Gannon said. “I appreciate their effort. That was good. We battled back there, had a couple chances to even cut the lead a little more, but ultimately didn’t get it done." Murray's in a bit of a mini-slump after throwing two interceptions in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He also didn't do much in the run game against the Seahawks, with 16 yards on three carries. The quarterback's decision-making was nearly flawless for much of the season and the Cardinals need that good judgment to return. “I’m not looking at it like I have to try to be Superman,” Murray said. “I don’t think that’s the answer. I just need to play within the offense like we’ve done for the majority of the season. Today, I didn’t. Like I said, throwing two picks puts yourself behind the eight ball.” Said Gannon: “I thought he stuck in there and made some big time throws, though, but he has to protect the ball a little bit better. That’s not just him, that’s all 11. So there’ll be a lot of corrections off those plays." The defense didn't have its best day, but it's not Budda Baker's fault. The two-time All-Pro safety is having another phenomenal season and was all over the field against the Seahawks, finishing with 18 tackles. Baker's energy is relentless and he's the unquestioned leader of a group that has been better than expected this season, even with Sunday's mediocre performance. Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. had a tough day, getting flagged for holding three times, though one of those penalties was declined by the Seahawks. The second-year player moved from right tackle to the left side during the offseason and the transition has gone well, but Sunday was a step backward. The Cardinals remain fairly healthy. DL Roy Lopez (ankle) and P Blake Gillikin (ankle) left Sunday's game, but neither injury is expected to be long term. 9 — It looks as if the Cardinals will go a ninth straight season without winning the NFC West. The last time they won the division was 2015 with coach Bruce Arians and a core offense of quarterback Carson Palmer, running back David Johnson and receiver Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals are in must-win territory now for any chance at the playoffs. They'll host the New England Patriots on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Klubnik's 3 TD passes, DT Page's pick-6 lead No. 17 Clemson to 51-14 win over The CitadelArsenal return to Premier League action with a simple task ahead of them in the coming weeks. If they are to close the nine point gap on Liverpool they are going to need to get on the sort of winning run that has eluded them over the first 11 games of the campaign. Their first attempt could well be a tricky one. Nottingham Forest are the only team to have beaten the league leaders so far this season and their resolute defense has fired them into fifth spot in the table, trailing the Gunners only on goal difference. Not since March 1989 have Forest won at Arsenal in the league, but Nuno Espirito Santo's side are impressive road operators with five wins and two draws from their last seven. Making that six from eight would be quite the way to spoil Mikel Arteta's big day as he celebrates 250 games in charge of Arsenal. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know: Viewing information Date : Saturday, November 23 | Time : 10 a.m. ET Location : Emirates Stadium -- London Live stream: Peacock Odds: Arsenal -250; Draw +360; Nottingham Forest +850 Team news Arsenal: The presence of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Leandro Trossard on the training field on Friday was welcome news for an Arsenal side whose injury problems never seem to fully ease. The latter limped out of Belgium's defeat to Israel but that proved to be a contact injury. Saka and Rice had not even joined up with England but Arteta confirmed they had had "partial sessions" while Calafiori, out for a month with a knee issue, is also on the comeback trail. Arteta meanwhile confirmed that Ben White will be out for "months," CBS Sports understands between two and three of them. Takehiro Tomiyasu might have been able to ease the pressure on the right back position but he will be away from the club for several weeks after multiple setbacks in his recovery from a knee injury. "He's one of the guys where the only thing he wants to do is to work 24 hours to get better and he feels terrible when he's not fit, so it's a real shame," said Arteta. "We're going to give him the best opportunity to try and unlock something to help him to have him back as quickly as possible, but I think we need to be patient." Possible Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Odegaard, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli Nottingham Forest: Nuno opted to play his cards close to his chest in his pre-match press conference, stating that there's "some situations to manage and decide" in a squad that otherwise does not appear to have major issues. Ola Aina and Elliott Anderson both returned from international duty early but are expected to be available. Long term absentees Danilo and Ibrahima Sangare will not recover in time while there was some doubt about Ramon Sosa, yet to arrive back from international duty when Nuno spoke to the media. Whoever takes the field for Forest, confidence and belief will surely be high even after their defeat to Newcastle before the international break. "What I expect and what the players give to us is total commitment to do things right," said Nuno. "From the outside it can be surprising but for us? No. We work every day with them, we know the quality and talent they have, we demand a lot from them but we have to stay humble and realise it's a very long and tough season." Possible Forest XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood Prediction This could be a slog for Arsenal against a very good defensive opponent but Martin Odegaard's presence might just offer enough for them to carry the day.
