AI RECAPThe Seattle Seahawks cruised to a dominant 41-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to gain momentum early in the year, this matchup was crucial for establishing dominance in the division. The Seahawks showcased their offensive firepower, while the Cardinals struggled to keep pace.
Leading the charge for Seattle was quarterback Sam Darnold, who threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating poise and precision throughout the game. On the ground, Jadarian Price was a force, rushing for 118 yards and adding a critical element to Seattle’s offensive strategy. Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as a reliable target, racking up 105 receiving yards, complementing Darnold's strong performance.
Defensively, Seattle's unit made significant contributions, with DJ Johnson recording a key sack that disrupted Arizona’s rhythm. While Andrew Wingard of the Cardinals tallied seven tackles, it was Seattle's ability to create pressure and force turnovers that ultimately shifted the momentum. The turning point came late in the second quarter when a critical interception set up a touchdown, allowing the Seahawks to take control and never look back.
