Seahawks Shut Down Cardinals to Rebound From Blowout Loss

The Seahawks responded to a heavy loss to Chicago by holding the Cardinals to three points in Seattle on November 8. Arizona scored on its opening drive but was shut out thereafter, as Seattle won 17-3 despite missing several key players, including starting quarterback Sam Darnold and defensive linemen Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu.

Seattle’s defense stopped Arizona on both of its red-zone chances, including a fourth-down goal-line stand to end the game. DeMarcus Lawrence forced a fumble, recorded a sack and made two tackles for loss. The Seahawks finished with eight tackles for loss and allowed just 50 rushing yards. Coach Mike Macdonald praised players who stepped in amid the injuries, saying the team had relied on its full roster.

Drew Lock threw for 175 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over, despite elbow and oblique injuries. Tight end A.J. Barner scored Seattle’s two first-half touchdowns, one on a run and one on a pass. Zach Charbonnet rushed for 77 yards as the Seahawks totaled 120 on the ground. Lock is 3-0 in games he has started in relief of Darnold this season. With Darnold likely to miss next week’s game in Las Vegas, Lock’s recovery and ability to practice will be a focus.
