Fitzgerald sprains MCL but remains hopeful to play against Seattle this Sunday. The Arizona Cardinals have the best record in the NFL, first place in the NFC West division and have a comfortable 3 game advantage on their Sunday rival Seattle for the division. The Cardinals are 9-1 going confidently into CenturyLink Field home of the defending champions. The Key for the Seahawks will be making Arizona's offense one dimensional. Arizona is a known passing team, making it Seattle's goal to limit the run, tighten up on their defenders and make the Cards force a few interceptions and limit their scoring like they did against the Lions in week 11.
The Detroit Lions seek their best 11 game streak (7-3), as their 4-game win streak was ended in Arizona the week before, but will have to go through Rob Gronkowski this Sunday who has six TD's in the last five games to do so. Very few defenders in the NFL are able to limit Gronkowski, especially in the Redzone. During the Patriot's 6-game winning streak, Gronk has caught 40 passes, for 587 yards and six touchdowns. This will be a tough football games for the Lions, but another key to this game will be on the Offensive/Defensive line. Along with trying to stop the unstoppable Gronkowski, the Lion's second and equally as daunting task is to intensify their D line and putting as much pressure on Brady as possible.
