NFL: Wells scores twice, Arizona rallies for 31-20 win

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Arizona fans finally saw a semblance of the team they watched win the NFC championship last season.

It just took awhile on Sunday.

Rookie Beanie Wells had second-half touchdown runs of 10 and 13 yards and the Cardinals rallied from an early two-touchdown deficit to beat the Seahawks 31-20, just Arizona's second home win in five tries.

Kurt Warner completed 29 of 38 for 340 yards and two touchdown passes for the Cardinals (6-3), who stayed two games up on San Francisco in the NFC West. In the process, Warner became the 29th player in NFL history to throw 200 touchdown passes. He had his 51st 300-yard passing game, tying Dan Fouts for fourth on the NFL career list.

With Julius Jones out early with a chest injury, second-year back Justin Forsett rushed for a career-high 123 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown run, for the Seahawks (3-6).

Matt Hasselbeck, who had been bothered by a sore shoulder, was 26 of 52 for 315 yards and a touchdown. He was picked off twice late in the game.

Wells gained a career-best 85 yards on 16 carries and caught two passes for 32 yards.

Arizona outscored the Seahawks 21-3 in the second half after two quarters of looking very much like the team that had struggled to a 1-3 record at home and nothing like the one that dominated at Seattle in a 27-3 win on Oct. 18.

Down 17-10, the Cardinals took the second-half kickoff and went 82 yards in 13 plays, Wells gaining redemption with his 10-yard scoring run on fourth-and-1, bouncing outside to the end zone, after his personal foul penalty pushed Arizona back from the 4 to the 19-yard line.

The Cardinals held when Seattle had first-and-goal at the 1, and the Seahawks had to settle for Olindo Mare's 20-yard field goal to go ahead 20-17.

Arizona took the lead for good with a quick, four-play, 80-yard drive. Warner's 27-yard pass to Anquan Boldin set up a spinning, 13-yard TD run by Wells and it was 24-20 with 11:20 to play.

The Cardinals added another score on Warner's 18-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald.

Boldin, held out against his wishes in last week's win at Chicago with a high ankle sprain, caught eight passes for 105 yards.
