Cardinals Host Seahawks in Crucial Home Opener
18 Sep
Summary
- Cardinals host Seahawks on Sept. 20 in their home opener.
- Arizona aims for 2-0 start against backup QB Drew Lock.
- Seahawks have won nine consecutive games against Cardinals.
The Arizona Cardinals will host the Seattle Seahawks for their home opener on September 20th. This matchup offers the Cardinals a unique opportunity to build on a surprising start, potentially moving to a 2-0 record. They will face the Seahawks, who have a formidable recent history against Arizona, having won their last nine meetings.
Under new coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks are recognized for their strong coaching and defense. The Cardinals, however, are looking to capitalize on the absence of Seahawks' starting quarterback Sam Darnold due to injury. This could mean facing backup Drew Lock, a situation that might favor Arizona despite being considerable underdogs.
Last season's game between these two teams was a significant defeat for the Cardinals, highlighting the Seahawks' recent dominance. The Cardinals' offensive scheme has seen notable changes, including increased use of motion and 11 personnel, aiming to improve their performance this season.
