The Seattle Seahawks narrowly defeated the Arizona Cardinals 21-13 in a hard-fought Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season. Both teams aimed for an early momentum boost, but it was the Seahawks who came out on top, securing their first victory of the season while the Cardinals fell to 0-2. Seattle's offense was led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who tossed two touchdown passes, showcasing his ability to connect in crucial moments. Jalen Milroe added a strong ground game with 53 rushing yards, complementing Darnold's aerial efforts. The Cardinals’ Jacoby Brissett managed to accumulate 145 passing yards but struggled to find the end zone, limiting Arizona's scoring opportunities. Defensively, both teams made their presence felt, but it was Seattle’s Lonnie Johnson Jr. who delivered a pivotal interception, stifling a potential Cardinals scoring drive. Darius Robinson of Arizona stood out with three total tackles and a sack, but the Seahawks' defense ultimately held strong when it mattered most. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when Johnson's interception allowed Seattle to maintain their lead, sealing the victory and keeping the momentum on their side.
