    <h3>Seahawks can wrap up NFC West title</h3>



    Arizona (6-6) at Seattle (8-4) 4:05 pm EST


    SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Seattle Seahawks can wrap up their fourthconsecutive NFC West title this weekend.


    Riding a four-game winning streak, the Seahawks host the ArizonaCardinals on Sunday.


    A victory would give Seattle a three-game lead and a tiebreakerover the Cardinals with three games to play. And the Seahawkscould not be catching Arizona at a better time.


    The Cardinals have major injury problems at wide receiver. LarryFitzgerald, who leads the NFC with 75 receptions and is secondin yardage, sat out last weekend's 27-21 victory over theCleveland Browns with a groin injury.


    Fellow wideout Anquan Boldin suffered a dislocated toe duringthat game and was forced to the sideline. He underwent an MRIexam Monday and his status is up in the air for Sunday's game.

    If one of both receivers are unable to play, Bryant Johnson willstart at one spot. Johnson had six receptions for 56 yards anda touchdown against the Browns.


    The Cardinals beat the Seahawks, 23-20, at home in Week Two butare 1-5 on the road. They likely will rely heavily on EdgerrinJames, who had his second-best output of the season with 114yards on 24 carries against the Browns.


    In the first meeting between the teams, James rushed for aseason-high 128 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries.

    Seattle has put some distance between itself and Arizona withits recent winning streak, capped by back-to-back road wins atSt. Louis and Philadelphia.


    The most impressive aspect of the streak is that is has largelybeen accomplished without running back Shaun Alexander, whomissed three straight games with injury before returning in lastweek's 28-24 victory over the Eagles.


    Alexander rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.Backup Maurice Morris contributed a 45-yard scoring run to putthe Seahawks ahead for good.


    "I thought Shaun did OK coming back," coach Mike Holmgren said."For his first game back after not playing in the last month, Ithought he ran pretty good."


    The Seahawks have averaged 28.1 points over the past six games,mainly on the arm of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who has thrownfor 11 TDs and five interceptions in that span.


    The defense came up with some critical stops against the Eagles,led by linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who had a game-high 11 tacklesand three interceptions, including one at the Seattle 4 in theclosing minutes to seal the win.
