In a decisive Week 9 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks dominated the Arizona Cardinals, securing a 33-9 victory that solidifies their playoff aspirations. With this win, Seattle improves its standing in a tightly contested NFC West, while the Cardinals struggle to find momentum as the season heads into the final stretch. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold led the charge through the air, throwing for 256 yards and a touchdown, while rookie sensation Jaxon Smith-Njigba shone on the receiving end with 117 yards. Zach Charbonnet added a strong ground presence with 85 rushing yards, providing Seattle with a balanced offensive attack that kept the Cardinals' defense on its heels throughout the game. Defensively, the Seahawks were relentless, with Derick Hall making his mark by notching two sacks that disrupted Arizona's offensive rhythm. The turning point came in the second quarter when Hall's pressure led to a critical turnover, allowing Seattle to stretch its lead and effectively put the game out of reach. The Cardinals were unable to recover, as the Seahawks' defense continued to stifle any attempts at a comeback.
