In a thrilling matchup, the Seattle Seahawks topped the Arizona Cardinals 38-28 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. With both teams eager to establish their dominance early in the year, the Seahawks emerged victorious, showcasing their firepower on both sides of the ball.
Jalen Milroe led the charge for Seattle, tossing three touchdown passes, while Gardner Minshew II of the Cardinals put up impressive numbers with 271 passing yards. Isiah Pacheco contributed solidly on the ground with 52 rushing yards, but it was Jaxon Smith-Njigba who stole the show, racking up 105 receiving yards and proving to be a reliable target for Milroe throughout the game.
Defensively, the Seahawks made crucial plays to secure their win, with Byron Murphy II recording two sacks that disrupted Minshew's rhythm.
