With this win, the Seahawks improved their standing in the competitive NFC West, while the Cardinals face increasing pressure as the season approaches its midpoint. Seattle's offense was firing on all cylinders, led by quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns. Kenneth Walker showcased his speed and strength with a stellar performance on the ground, racking up 157 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Chimere Dike was a constant threat in the receiving game, accumulating 178 yards and finding the end zone, proving to be a nightmare for the Cardinals' secondary. Defensively, the Seahawks made their presence felt, with Bobby Wagner recording a sack that disrupted Arizona's rhythm. The game-changing moment came when Seattle's defense stifled a promising Cardinals drive in the second quarter, leading to a turnover that allowed the Seahawks to extend their lead.
