The Seattle Seahawks improved to a 2-0 record for the season with a decisive 31-7 road victory against the Arizona Cardinals. This win extended Seattle's current win streak to an impressive 12 consecutive games, setting a new franchise record. The Seahawks also continued their dominance over the Cardinals, marking their tenth straight win against the opponent.
Filling in for the injured Sam Darnold, quarterback Drew Lock had a stellar performance, completing 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns. His first pass was an 82-yard touchdown strike to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the longest of Smith-Njigba's career. After a sluggish offensive performance in the first half that saw the game tied 7-7, the Seahawks made key adjustments at halftime.
The second half saw Seattle's offense find its rhythm, with Smith-Njigba scoring two more touchdowns. The defense also made crucial plays, including a diving interception by Julian Love. Kicker Jason Myers added to the score with his 300th career field goal. The Seahawks are now keeping pace with other undefeated teams in the league and are set to face the Washington Commanders next.
