The Seattle Seahawks secured a decisive 35-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of the 2026 season, improving their record and establishing themselves as a formidable contender early in the campaign. With playoff aspirations on the line, both teams were eager to make a statement, but it was Seattle that ultimately came out on top. Zach Charbonnet was the standout performer on the ground for the Seahawks, racking up an impressive 140 rushing yards and contributing significantly to the team's offensive success. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett of the Cardinals threw for 150 yards and two touchdowns, showing flashes of brilliance, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Seattle's powerful attack. A.J. Barner also played a crucial role, leading the Seahawks in receiving with 83 yards, helping to keep the chains moving. Defensively, the Seahawks were able to disrupt the Cardinals' rhythm, with Devon Witherspoon recording a crucial sack that halted a promising Arizona drive. The turning point came when the Seahawks capitalized on a turnover, quickly turning the momentum in their favor and allowing them to stretch their lead. Despite Budda Baker's solid effort with five tackles for the Cardinals, the defense struggled to contain Seattle's offensive onslaught, ultimately allowing the game to slip away.
