AI Recap
AI RECAPThe Seattle Seahawks topped the Arizona Cardinals 31-14 in a decisive Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season, showcasing their offensive prowess and solidifying their early position in the league. With both teams looking to gain momentum, the Seahawks' victory sets them up as a formidable contender in the NFC West.
C.J. Stroud led the charge for Seattle, throwing for 256 yards and exhibiting poise in the pocket. Zach Charbonnet contributed significantly on the ground with 78 rushing yards, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba was a standout receiver, racking up 94 yards and providing key plays to sustain drives. Despite Carson Beck's two touchdown passes for Arizona, the Seahawks' offensive firepower proved too much to handle.
Defensively, Seattle's performance was highlighted by Derick Hall's 1.5 sacks and a crucial interception by Ernest Jones IV, which shifted the momentum in favor of the Seahawks. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Jones IV's interception set up a touchdown that extended Seattle's lead to 21-7, effectively putting the game out of reach for the Cardinals. Arizona struggled to recover, as the Seahawks' defense continued to stifle their offensive efforts throughout the game.
