In a decisive Week 2 matchup, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Seattle Seahawks 26-7, showcasing their dominance on both sides of the ball. With this victory, Arizona improves to a strong start in the 2026 season, while Seattle struggles to find its footing early on. Matt Leinart was the standout performer for the Cardinals, throwing for 239 yards and connecting for a touchdown, while Edgerrin James provided a solid ground game with 82 rushing yards. Leonard Pope also made his mark, racking up 76 receiving yards, adding depth to an already potent offensive display. The Cardinals' defense was a force to be reckoned with, highlighted by Darnell Dockett's impressive performance, which included two sacks and three total tackles. Antrel Rolle's two interceptions were crucial in shifting momentum, especially during a pivotal second quarter that saw the Seahawks unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities. This strong defensive effort not only stifled Seattle's offense but also set the tone for Arizona's commanding victory.
