Defense Helps Seahawks Heading Into Week 10

The Seattle Seahawks improved to 5-4 following a 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, driven by a strong defensive performance. Dante Fowler Jr. forced a fumble and recorded a sack alongside teammates Derick Hall, Byron Murphy II, and DeMarcus Lawrence, limiting Arizona to 198 total yards. Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew suffered a potentially season-ending torn UCL during the contest.

Seattle faces offensive questions entering Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders due to injuries at quarterback. Starter Sam Darnold remains sidelined with quad and rib issues, while backup Drew Lock aggravated an oblique injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Lock had a positive medical exam and is slated to start, with third-string quarterback Jalen Milroe serving as the backup.
