Well, the answer to that last season was a resounding no, as Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald pretty much did what he wanted last season, including a playoff run that was the most productive in terms of sheer numbers by an NFL receiver.
The Seahawks faced Fitzgerald twice in 2008, and the numbers weren’t pretty. Fitzgerald finished with 15 receptions, 281 yards and two touchdowns in two games against Seattle.
Several other talented receivers had big days against Seattle, including Buffalo’s Lee Evans (4 receptions, 102 yards) Green Bay’s Greg Jennings (5 receptions, 84 yards, touchdown), San Francisco’s Isaac Bruce (4 receptions,153 yards), the New England Patriots’ Wes Welker (12 receptions, 134 yards), Arizona’s Anquan Boldin (13 receptions, 186 yards) Dallas tight end Jason Witten (9 receptions 115 yards, TD) and Tampa Bay’s Antonio Bryant (6 receptions, 115 yards TD).
