In a commanding performance, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 45-21 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. Seattle showcased their offensive prowess and defensive strength, making a strong statement early in the year. With this victory, the Seahawks look poised to make a serious playoff push. Adrian Peterson led the charge for Seattle, racking up an impressive 134 rushing yards, while quarterback Jayden Daniels of the Cardinals kept his team competitive, throwing for 266 yards and three touchdowns. Daniels' connection with receiver Chimere Dike, who recorded 89 receiving yards, highlighted Arizona's efforts to stay in the game despite the scoreline. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the Seahawks' offensive barrage. The Seahawks' defense played a pivotal role in the outcome, with Lorenzo Styles Jr. intercepting three passes to halt any momentum the Cardinals tried to build. Despite Reggie White's two sacks for Arizona, it was Seattle's ability to create turnovers and apply consistent pressure that defined the game. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Styles' second interception set up a touchdown that shifted the momentum firmly in favor of the Seahawks.
