Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 in their first divisional matchup of the season, maintaining pace with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West.
- Many Seahawks players who were expected to be reserves played significant roles, including quarterback Drew Lock, who has improved markedly since Week 1, and third-year offensive lineman Christian Haynes, who made his first career start.
- Running back Emmanuel Wilson led the ground game with 92 yards on 21 carries, surpassing first-round pick Jadarian Price's 13 attempts, while several other young players saw substantial playing time.
- On defense, practice squad player Rodney Thomas played all 50 snaps, while Nick Emmanwori had limited action to avoid injury, and special teams featured key contributions from Brady Russell and newcomer Avery Smith.
- The Seahawks will travel to face the Washington Commanders in Week 3, moving past their previous struggles in Glendale.
