Barner Scores Twice as Seahawks Shut Down Cardinals

Seattle gave up a field goal on Arizona’s opening drive, then kept the Cardinals scoreless for the rest of the game. The Seahawks built their lead with two second-quarter touchdowns from tight end AJ Barner: a one-yard run and a seven-yard reception. The scores were his second and third of the season.

Rookie running back Jadarian Price, playing his second game since returning from injured reserve, led Seattle with four catches for 54 yards. Quarterback Drew Lock improved to 2-0 as the Seahawks’ starter. Though his statistics were modest, he avoided turnovers and helped Seattle retain possession.

Seattle’s defense limited Arizona to three points. Julian Love finished with eight takedowns, and sacks were credited to Byron Murphy, Demarcus Lawrence and Dante Fowler Jr. The defensive showing followed a game in which Seattle had allowed 34 points to the Chicago Bears. The Seahawks are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10, with the possibility that Lock will start again. The game also drew criticism of the officiating, with questionable calls cited as a concern, though Seattle’s defense held firm.
