Seahawks 17, Cardinals 3: Seattle's Defense Holds Arizona Without a Touchdown at Lumen Field
Shorthanded Seattle — no Darnold, no Leonard Williams, no Charles Cross — still shut Arizona down after its opening field goal: Drew Lock threw a touchdown, AJ Barner scored twice, and the Seahawks outgained the Cardinals 295-198.
SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 17-3 on Sunday at Lumen Field, in the game that sent 'seahawks' to the top of the U.S. search file on Monday morning, according to the team report and AZCentral's coverage read by the desk this run.
Seattle did it shorthanded. The Seahawks played without quarterback Sam Darnold, defensive tackle Leonard Williams, receiver Rashid Shaheed, left tackle Charles Cross, outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and guard Quenton Nelson — and still held Arizona scoreless after the Cardinals' opening-possession field goal, a span of nearly 55 minutes without a point.
Drew Lock, starting in Darnold's place, went 19-for-28 for 175 yards and a touchdown. AJ Barner scored both Seattle touchdowns — a short rushing score and a touchdown catch — and Zach Charbonnet carried 16 times for 77 yards as Seattle outgained Arizona 295-198 and piled up 21 first downs to the Cardinals' 13.
Arizona falls to 3-6 with the loss. For Austin's NFL audience, the file is the trending slate's Monday-morning lead: a defense-first divisional win, won by the backups, that the whole country searched for overnight.
