AI RECAPIn an impressive display of dominance, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Seattle Seahawks with a final score of 37-12 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. The Cardinals' victory not only improves their record but also establishes them as a formidable force early in the campaign, leaving the Seahawks looking to regroup after a rough outing.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the charge for Arizona, throwing for 228 yards and securing two touchdown passes, showcasing his veteran poise. Meanwhile, Jeremiyah Love had a standout performance on the ground, racking up 132 rushing yards and adding a touchdown to his impressive tally. The Seahawksβ Michael Penix Jr. put forth a solid effort with 253 passing yards and Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as a key target, logging 128 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the Cardinals' explosive offense.
Defensively, the Cardinals made crucial stops when it mattered most, highlighted by Dadrion Taylor-Demerson's interception that shifted momentum firmly in Arizona's favor. The turning point came late in the second quarter when a pivotal turnover set up a quick touchdown, allowing the Cardinals to extend their lead to 20-6 before halftime. With a balanced attack on both sides of the ball, Arizona was able to keep Seattle at bay throughout the contest.
