Defensive Dominance Highlights Seahawks’ Win Over Cardinals In Week 9

The Seattle Seahawks relied on a dominant defensive performance to secure a 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field. After surrendering a field goal on Arizona's opening drive, Seattle's defense clamped down to hold the Cardinals to just 198 total yards. The unit scored 17 unanswered points and effectively sealed the win when Nick Emmanwori broke up a fourth-down pass to Trey McBride at Seattle's 2-yard line.

Seattle accomplished the feat without top defenders Leonard Williams and Uchenna Nwosu, limiting Arizona to 2.8 yards per carry while collecting three sacks. Veteran DeMarcus Lawrence added a sack and a tackle for loss. The performance marked the sixth time under head coach Mike Macdonald that Seattle held an opponent to three or fewer points.
