RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will never say one regular-season game is more important than any other game. However, with 9-1 Arizona as the next team up and five of the final six games against NFC West rivals, Carroll knows everything is on the line for the 6-4 Seahawks.

“There’s so much at stake coming up here in the next month and a half,” Carroll said. “I think it’s a really cool time of the year. Everything’s still out there, and everybody’s got to win. I think this is a great time to be watching NFL games because every game will be so crucial. Everybody is feeling like that.”

No team more than the Seahawks. They have the toughest remaining schedule in the NFL, including two games in a five-day stretch -- Sunday at CenturyLink Field against the Cardinals and Thanksgiving night on the road against the San Francisco 49ers.

“There’s a lot out there," Carroll said. “We know we have to do it one week at a time, and with Arizona starting, that’s the only game in the world that matters.”

The Cardinals also are the only NFC West team to win a game in Seattle since quarterback Russell Wilson arrived in 2012. Arizona defeated the Seahawks 17-10 in December, the only home loss in 2013, ending a 14-game home winning streak for Seattle.

“It reminds you that it’s not automatic when you’re home and you have to fight your tail off,” Carroll said. “I think any time you have a streak like that, you get disappointed. It was disappointing we couldn’t maintain that. It was right there to be done, and we couldn’t finish the game the way we wanted to. It was a good illustration to us of how tough the division is.”
