AI RECAPIn a thrilling Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season, the Seattle Seahawks narrowly defeated the Arizona Cardinals with a final score of 57-50. Both teams showcased explosive offenses, but the stakes were high as Seattle aimed to establish dominance early in the season while Arizona sought to rebound from a disappointing opening week.
Leading the charge for Seattle was quarterback Sam Darnold, who put on a show with an astounding 607 passing yards and seven touchdowns. He connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a remarkable 375 receiving yards, helping to keep the Seahawks' offense humming at full throttle. Meanwhile, Jeremiyah Love of the Cardinals was a force on the ground, racking up 174 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough to secure the win.

The turning point came in the fourth quarter, when Seattle's defense managed to halt an Arizona drive, allowing them to maintain their slim lead and ultimately secure the victory.
