Seahawks vs Cardinals live stream: How to watch online NFL 2013 [FOX start time, preview]

The Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks will face off against one another on Sunday in one of five late afternoon kick offs. For the Cardinals this is a must-win; even though they have a massively impressive 9-5 record right now, they need a final flurry of wins over the final two weeks to clinch a playoff spot. The Seahawks meanwhile will just be trying to confirm their spot as the no. 1 seeds in the NFC Conference.

Today's big NFC West game will start at 4.05 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on the Fox television network. Alternatively the game will also be shown online through a live stream – free for subscribers to Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket – via the link provided below.

The Cardinals are fighting to keep their postseason dreams alive but this really could be a game too far. A win on the road in Seattle is not likely, but if they do pull it off then they would fully deserve to claim a playoff position.

Arizona has been one of the major surprise packages of this season, and they have won almost two times as many games as last season already with still two weeks of the regular season to go. However, it still might not be enough as they are behind both the Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers at the moment.

The Seahawks will want to confirm their place as the no. 1 seeds for the playoffs and claim a round one bye. They will be under no illusions though that this will be an easy game, and they can fully expect a Cardinals side to throw everything at them as they fight for their postseason lives.
