Introduction
Seattle edged the Arizona Cardinals 23–20 on Thursday night, thanks to Jason Myers’ 52-yard field goal as time expired. The Seahawks withstood a furious late rally from Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, preserving their 8th straight win over Arizona and improving to 3–1 on the season.
Key moments and player stats
- Sam Darnold completed 18 of 26 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown, guiding the final drive that set up Myers’ kick.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba made four catches for 79 yards, including a 22-yard gain that pushed Seattle into position.
- Cardinals’ Kyler Murray rallied late: 27/41 for 200 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and six sacks absorbed.
- Seattle defense forced a critical Arizona kickoff miscue under new rules, giving Seattle the ball at its own 40 with 28 seconds left.
Why this game mattered
This match was more than a Thursday Night Football contest— it had NFC West consequences. With Arizona missing James Conner (season-ending ankle surgery) and Seattle maintaining discipline under pressure, the result underscores Seattle’s resilience and Arizona’s vulnerable depth.
Seattle’s win also extends their dominance in the Cardinals–Seahawks rivalry: the Seahawks now lead the series 30–22–1.
What to watch next
- Injury report: Seahawks lost defensive lineman DeMarcus Lawrence with a thigh injury during the game.
- Arizona bounce back: Murray and the offense must find answers without Conner.
- Seahawks schedule & predictions: Seattle may carry momentum, but their schedule intensifies.
