Seahawks Defense Sets the Tone in Huge Victory over Cardinals
The Seattle Seahawks’ defense set the tone in their win over the Arizona Cardinals, holding them to a season-low 3 points and forcing three turnovers. The Seahawks’ defense was dominant, holding the Cardinals out of the end zone and stifling their offense.
The Cardinals’ best chance to score came on a fourth-and-1 at the 40-yard line in the third quarter, but Seahawks linebacker Mike McDonald called timeout to make sure the defense was on the same page. The Seahawks then forced a fumble and intercepted a pass, which was returned 69 yards for a touchdown.
The Seahawks’ defense was led by defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who had 2.5 sacks, six tackles, and a batted pass. He was dominant up front, playing a key role in the Seahawks’ victory.
The Cardinals’ offense was hindered by the Seahawks’ defense, which held them to five punts and one field goal in the first six drives. Kyler Murray was sacked five times and threw a crucial interception on fourth down, giving the Seahawks the game-clinching score.
The Seahawks’ offense, led by quarterback Geno Smith, scored 14 points in the second half, including a late field goal to seal the win. Smith was up and down, but the Seahawks’ defense played well enough to secure the victory.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a big game, catching a pair of touchdown passes and setting up others with his speed and agility. He has now had three straight big performances, and his speed and ability to make plays after the catch make him a key component of the Seahawks’ offense.
The Seahawks’ victory keeps their playoff hopes alive, while the Cardinals’ loss hurts their chances of making the postseason. The Cardinals’ margin for error has shrunk significantly, and they will be hard-pressed to make a late-season run.
