Seattle Seahawks Dominate Arizona Cardinals with Ground Game and Defensive Mastery

In a compelling display of football, the Seattle Seahawks improved their season record to 8-5 after securing a victory over the Arizona Cardinals, who now stand at 6-7. The final score read 30-18 in favor of the Seahawks, marking a significant win for the team.

Key Performances on Both Sides

The Seahawks' offense was on full display with a total of 409 yards gained. A standout performance came from Zach Charbonnet, who rushed for an impressive 134 yards on 22 attempts, finding the end zone twice. His longest run stretched for 51 yards, showcasing his explosive potential every time he carried the ball. Geno Smith also contributed significantly to the offensive effort with an efficient passing game that amounted to 233 yards and one touchdown pass. Smith's completion rate was an impressive 80 percent.

On defense, Seattle was equally dominant. They managed two sacks and five tackles for loss against Arizona's offense while forcing two interceptions and one fumble recovery that underscored their defensive prowess throughout the game. Coby Bryant stood out on defense with one interception and a forced fumble, contributing significantly to limiting Arizona's scoring opportunities.

The Cardinals struggled to find their rhythm offensively but saw moments of promise through their rushing attack which accounted for most of their yardage against Seattle's stout defense.

Special Teams and Penalties

Special teams played a crucial role in Seattle’s strategy as well. Jason Myers was perfect on the day, converting all three field goal attempts with his longest being from 36 yards out. Michael Dickson’s punting game helped control field position effectively; he punted five times totaling 265 yards and placed four inside the Arizona’s twenty-yard line.

Penalties were an area where both teams had room for improvement; however, they impacted momentum shifts throughout this matchup less than might be expected given there were nine penalties called against Seattle resulting in lost yardage but not significantly affecting overall performance.

Looking ahead, fans can catch the next action-packed game as The Seattle Seahawks host Green Bay Packers at Lumen Field in Seattle on December 15th at 8:20 PM EDT broadcasted live on NBC. This upcoming matchup promises another exciting chapter in this NFL season as The Seahawks aim to continue their winning ways in front of their home crowd.
