AI RECAPIn a commanding display, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Seattle Seahawks 44-24 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. This victory not only boosts the Cardinals' momentum early in the season but also highlights their potential as contenders in the NFC West.
Despite the loss, Seattle's Daniel Jones showcased his versatility, throwing for 233 yards and two touchdowns while also leading the team in rushing with 56 yards.
