In a decisive Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season, the Seattle Seahawks topped the Arizona Cardinals with a final score of 38-17, solidifying their early-season momentum. With both teams vying for an advantage in the tightly contested NFC West, Seattle's offensive firepower proved too much for the Cardinals to handle. Jalen Milroe was the standout performer for the Seahawks, throwing for an impressive 323 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his ability to exploit the Arizona secondary. He connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a remarkable 148 receiving yards, a combination that kept the Cardinals' defense on their heels throughout the game. Meanwhile, Jeremiyah Love led Arizona's rushing attack with 66 yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Seattle’s prolific scoring. Defensively, the Seahawks made their presence felt with a strong performance, highlighted by Byron Murphy II's two sacks, which disrupted the Cardinals' offensive rhythm. Bud Clark contributed with five total tackles, helping to stifle Arizona's drives. The game's turning point came in the second quarter when Seattle scored two quick touchdowns, shifting the momentum decisively in their favor and leaving Arizona struggling to recover.
