In a commanding performance, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Seattle Seahawks 45-27 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. Both teams entered the matchup looking to establish momentum early in the season, but the Cardinals proved to be too much for the Seahawks to handle. Quarterback Sam Darnold led the Seahawks with a solid outing, throwing for 269 yards and two touchdowns, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba shined as his top target, racking up 207 receiving yards. Despite Darnold's efforts, it was Jeremiyah Love on the ground who stole the show for Arizona, amassing an incredible 413 rushing yards. The game's turning point came in the second quarter when Budda Baker intercepted a Darnold pass, setting up a quick touchdown that shifted the momentum firmly in Arizona's favor. The Cardinals' defense, highlighted by Zaven Collins' sack and overall strong play, limited Seattle's scoring opportunities and helped secure a decisive victory.
