The Seattle Seahawks won their fourth straight game with a 31-21 win over NFC West Rival Arizona. Here are our Dud and Stud of the game.
The game started very quickly for both offenses, as there were a total of one FG and two TDs over the first five drives of the game. At that point, the score was 10-7 in favor of the Seattle Seahawks.
Then with 12 minutes left in the second quarter, the scoring stopped. This lack of points was due to a turnover on downs by the Seahawks, two punts by the Cardinals, and a fumble by Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray. The clock ran out on Seattle before they could capitalize.
The second half started slowly with three punts before Geno Smith made a big mistake. He threw an errant pass that Zaven Collins took to the house for a pick-six.
Smith showed leadership and resiliency by responding with a 13-play, 75-yard TD Drive. The Seattle Seahawks featured some Kenneth Walker runs and a couple of completions to Will Dissly and Tyler Lockett. It culminated with a 9-yard touchdown reception by #16.
The Seattle Seahawks took over in the fourth quarter scoring two touchdowns. Both ran in by Walker.
In between, Arizona squeezed in a 75-yard touchdown drive that ended with a 6-yard TD pass to tight end Zach Ertz.
On the Cardinals final possession, they turned it over on downs, and the Seahawks kneeled two times to run out the clock and seal the Seattle Seahawks’ 31-21 victory.
