Arizona Cardinals

Decision:32-20 defeat to the 49ers.

Offense: Feast or famine continued to color quarterback Carson Palmer's days as a Cardinal -- he threw two interceptions and two touchdown pass, including a 75-yard pass-and-catch connection with Larry Fitzgerald.

Defense: Arizona lost arguably its best player on the unit, defensive end Calais Campbell, to a scary injury late in the game, perhaps just when they needed him most.

Stock up:Safety Yeremiah Bell had trouble covering tight end Vernon Davis, but he impressed with a goal-line interception on a deflected pass from 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Stat:The Cardinals went 5-16 at Candlestick Park over the years.

Quote:"I'm not going to sleep at all," Fitzgerald **told AZCardinals.com**. "I let my team down."

Ahead: Arizona hosts Seattle on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 7.

Seattle Seahawks

Decision:20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans.

Offense: Running back Marshawn Lynch racked up 155 all-purpose yards, including a single-game career high 78 through the air.

Defense:Safety Earl Thomas caught one interception, and his coverage on another play helped cornerback Richard Sherman grab his own pick.

Stock up:Rookie defensive tackle Jordan Hill recorded his first NFL sack.

Stat: Quarterback Russell Wilson has fashioned an 11-0 record when playing at home, making him the league's fourth signal-caller ever to win his first 11 games at his own ballpark.

Quote:"We kind of made it rough on ourselves today," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll  **told Seahawks.com**. "We made enough mistakes to make it a close game."

Ahead: Seattle visits Arizona on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 7.
