AI Recap
AI RECAPIn a stunning offensive showcase, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Seattle Seahawks with a final score of 77-42, marking a decisive victory in Week 2 of the 2026 season. The win not only solidifies Arizona's strong start but also sends a clear message to the league about their offensive prowess.
Leading the charge for the Cardinals was quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., who threw for an astonishing 454 yards and an impressive eight touchdown passes, demonstrating his elite arm strength and accuracy. Running back Jeremiyah Love contributed significantly with 166 rushing yards, complementing the aerial assault and keeping the Seahawks' defense on its heels. Meanwhile, Cooper Kupp of the Seahawks showcased his skills with 186 receiving yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Arizona's relentless scoring.
The Cardinals' defense played a crucial role in sealing the victory, with Zaven Collins recording 2.5 sacks and Will Johnson snagging an interception. The turning point came early in the second half when Richardson threw a touchdown pass following a critical turnover, shifting momentum firmly in favor of Arizona. Jack Gibbens also made his presence felt with four total tackles, helping to stifle any Seahawk attempts to mount a comeback as the game progressed.
