AI Recap
AI RECAPIn a thrilling Divisional Round showdown, the Arizona Cardinals topped the Seattle Seahawks 35-20, advancing to the next stage of the playoffs in the 2029 season. Both teams entered the game with high stakes, but the Cardinals ultimately proved too strong, dominating key moments on both sides of the ball.
Quarterback LaNorris Sellers was the star of the night for Arizona, throwing for three touchdowns and leading a potent offensive attack. In contrast, Seattle's Sam Darnold put up impressive numbers with 294 passing yards, yet it wasn't enough to overcome the Cardinals' explosive plays. Nyck Harbor emerged as a reliable target for Sellers, racking up 126 receiving yards and consistently moving the chains for Arizona.
Defensively, Arizona's Rodrick Pleasant was a force, contributing seven total tackles to stifle Seattle's attempts at a comeback. The game-changing moment came when Ashton Hampton snagged an interception, halting a Seattle drive that could have shifted the momentum. With Matayo Uigalelei accounting for 1.5 sacks, the Cardinals' defense effectively pressured Darnold, ensuring their victory and a spot in the next round.
